Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

Seriously, we need the less carbon-emitting plants to replace the dirty coal ones, not come online just to power the AI hype :smh:
If/when the ai hype train crashes, it would already be online and therefore a good argument can be made to redirect the power to the grid instead of the then-defunct project
That’s true, but this reactor had been operating for decades, until 2019. Methane was too cheap (and didn’t have to pay for its waste) and made it unprofitable, so they stopped. Presumably the price MS is willing to lock in at makes it profitable for them again. I assume they predict prices going up or they’re getting it cheap.
Keep in mind, MS has only signed an agreement to buy 100% of the output, not the reactor itself.
Maybe true. But if we have increased energy demand it might as well be nuclear.
Halting ai development might be nice according to many people, but we cant make that happen. Fraud alone is magnitudes more rampant. Its here to stay and we have to deal with it. I think this is a big win.
