Whoa. Mini nuke plants are going to necessarily become commonplace. Talk about jobs for the future! Better start intensive instruction on things of mechanical and fluid engineering.
I agree with that.
I’ve seen a lot of people celebrate AI and automation for the future because these things will produce so many jobs (we will all be employed to code AI and we will all be employed as robot repairmen). I don’t buy that. I don’t see millions of job opening for robot repairmen in the future.
But energy infrastructure? I do see a lot of job coming for that sector. Sure I suppose robots and AI will do some of the work, but welders, pipefitters, etc will be needed and I think humans will have a wide variety of jobs creating power plants everywhere. That’s the future.

Mini? 2.2 Gigawatts is scarcely ‘mini’.
Here’s what I want to know.... it takes 5 to 10 years to put up a nuclear plant and as suggested in the video, they put this data center up in a year. No doubt there was lots of engineering and procurement of components ahead of time but that also is the case for a nuclear plant. What we have are the ingredients of a massive imbalance between supply and demand.... the demand can be cranked up at a rate that is multiples faster than the supply can be cranked up (perhaps as much as 10 times). It would seem like we are headed for a future of potential blackouts, brownouts, scheduled time of use etc. As an investor, how do I best take advantage of what looks like some very massive problems speeding towards us?
