The clean, dense, non-intermittent power provided by nuclear reactors is extremely valuable. Unless you are located near a hydroelectric dam, there is really no substitute. The government will not allow the technology companies to "hog" existing reactors. Presumably this will force the technology companies to build their own reactors. Good. I'll end with a quote from Yann LeCun (Vice-President, Chief AI Scientist at Meta): AI datacenters will be built next to energy production sites that can produce gigawatt-scale, low-cost, low-emission electricity continuously. Basically, next to nuclear power plants. The advantage is that there is no need for expensive and wasteful long-distance distribution infrastructure. Note: Yes, solar and wind are nice and all, but they require lots of land and massive-scale energy storage systems for when there is too little sun and/or wind. Neither simple nor cheap. https://x.com/ylecun/status/1837875035270263014 https://x.com/ylecun/status/1837875035270263014
