AI is going to need incredible amounts of power.
Sweet.....I expect Kamala will come out with her push for Nuclear energy...any day now...lol
Why not
It cost about $10 billion or more to build a Nuke.
That is primarily borrowed money.
Palisades ping...
Nuclear was, is and will remain the cheapest, (((most reliable))), national / sovereign, and cleanest way to produce power in the quantity required to run an industrial nation with a massive transportation need.
If the US pushes nuclear, that changes everything. Why?
Suddenly the EV really does become a cleaner alternative.
As electrical costs drop rail will switch more to this power source.
Home air and water heating (a big one), and lawn and garden equipment...
Things that currently use fossil fuels will become more electric not by mandates but because they are cheaper, more reliable / convenient, cleaner.
DO NOT FORCE things with mandates like idiot politicians so often like to do, but let the market do it all by itself as electric costs drop and people switch to electric home and water heating, electric garden and lawn equipment which is also more easy to maintain, as rail uses more electric, and the EV can actually truly claim to be low emission...
Fossil fuels with the extremely high energy density by volume and weight will remain where practice, but now “electricity” becomes more practical in a wider range of applications.
I have been onboard for decades with the concept of exploiting nuclear power, especially technologies like Thorium reactors, Pebble Bed reactors, and even (yes) Fusion power. We should be investing as much as we can afford to into developing fusion power.
Fusion power may indeed be unattainable, but that same adjective has been applied to many technologies.
To those who say nuclear power is unsafe, I would say that nuclear power designed on 1950’s-1970’s technology is unsafe compared to what we could do today, in the same way that spaceflight leveraging 1950’s-1970’s technology as was found in the Space Shuttle could be viewed as unsafe.
And the same way that transatlantic voyages using 17th Century technology would be unsafe compared to 20th Century technology.
Just because something was once prohibitively expensive and dangerous to undertake doesn’t mean it would be that way forever.
We should make it a national priority to do with nuclear technology what Elon Musk has done, and will do even further with space travel.
But we will never, ever be able to do it while these Leftist bastards have their rat-claws on the levers of power. Never.
If we put prisoners on electricity-producing bikes and made them pedal all day long, we’d have plenty of relatively FREE, ‘green’ energy. Who can argue with THAT? *SMIRK*
My Platform? Prisoners, and any able-bodied adult individual receiving TAXPAYER benefits, needs to ride a bike for 8 hours a day. They can have the first, second or third shift. Two shifts if they have dreams of winning the Tour de France!
See? I’m not completely heartless. ;)
But yes, power almighty, my god, they are going to try and bring the Singularity on copper-based chips -- the first of many mistakes to come...
What about the waste?
Expansion of Nuclear - bump for later....
AI requires amounts of energy we have not been able to grasp. Of course they support this. This is an extension of AI and green energy.
Remember the souless AI you support today is going to make life and death decisions about you and your family. The danger is beyond measure because we have never seen such a large scale application of programmed soulesss responses.
Maybe Fauci is advising him on AI.
Interesting. Is it possible they have an inside scoop that Trump will make it through the cheat?
How are they going to do this when Skamala “wins” the election because the RINO party under the coma patient Mitch McConnell refused to do anything about election integrity?
