Tech Giants Eye Nuclear Power For AI Data Centers: A Double-Edged Sword
AI is a power hog. According to the WSJ, roughly a third of domestic nuclear power plants are in talks with tech giants to supply carbon-free power for AI operations, driving a significant shift in the power industry.
Big tech: nuclear isn't the direction we should go to replace fossil fuels, let's focus on solar and wind. That's what would best serve large populations
Also big tech: we specifically want nuclear power because it's the only thing that can handle such large energy demands
Large populations should be resting up and sleeping at night, not using AI, so solar is fine.
A.I. gods (little g) don't run on solar.
That's right a wind farm and solar panels should handle it fine
