I want one for my house

More winning, let’s set the example. Let the Dems leave and go elsewhere and buy everything from us.

How fast can this happen if regulatory approvals take 10 years? Plus the endless environmental lawsuits?

Any major economic development in the US is effectively impossible if the legal situation isn't changed.

‘clean’ nuclear reactors.

Hilarious.

Crack the seals and see how clean things are...

Great! Our electrical grids are underpowered and vulnerable to going down, but the AI-driven control grid that Larry Ellison wants to monitor and manage our every move will be smoothly powered.

Whatever happened to gas micro-turbines for home heating and electricity?

[Robert A Cook PE]

A near-useless press release.
What size reactor?
What region of Texas?
How are they to be cooled?
How are these small reactor “clusters” to be serviced?
How are they to be placed behind what kind of security fences and barriers?

First I’ve heard of this group. But SMRs are rapidly becoming the answer to providing reliable distributed power.

[RightOnTheBorder]

This is great news if it breaks the back of the eco-Nazi/Lawyer/Government axis that has stifled energy production for so long. That said, natural gas turbine is still the cheapest most plentiful megawatt hours to be had, by a wide margin.

Nothing new here .

Quite a few American universities have had small scale nuclear reactors for research and training purposes with no problems.

[cuban leaf]

Maybe they could have one of those for each EV charging site. Then EV's could actually be a practical transportation solution.

Better yet, how about a micro reactor on each car. they could call it Mr. Fusion!

[ZOOKER]

Could use one of those myself...

"Nuclear-powered AI's? Outrageous! The Earth will no longer be habitable by human beings! You must stop this project immediately!"

(Soothing voice over speaker) - "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that."

Last Energy is privately held. No stock outstanding.

I see this as eventually a catastrophic choice for Texas. Yes, they’ll make a lot of money at first, but with the population this will attract the State will go the way of California, with Oregon, Colorado, and Arizona thereafter.

[dljordan]

That’s what Im’ talkin’ about.

[Organic Panic]

What about water? Do they reclaim it?

[Cobra64]

Finally👍

[glorgau]

Oh yeah, make it so the data centers developing AI are self sufficient and can continue operating even if told not to.
