THEY’RE BUILDING THE MACHINE THAT ENDS CAPITALISM AS WE KNOW IT OpenAI needs $1.4 trillion. Not wants. NEEDS. Their $20 billion revenue today must become $650 billion or the entire operation collapses. That’s 32x growth in 5 years while their flagship model already ranks 95th as competitors match performance at 20% lower cost. The math …
China may have built 162 square miles of solar, but they also – built 95GW of coal in the same time – 33 nuclear plants under construction – 70GW of natural gas under construction Your paltry 15GWs (really, is actually only 3GW due to CF) of added power is basically a rounding error to china’s …
TRUMP WANTS 10 REACTORS, WESTINGHOUSE JUST SAID LET’S DO IT Trump wants a nuclear comeback. Westinghouse just promised 10 new reactors. The first shovels hit dirt before 2030. Each reactor powers three-quarters of a million homes. That’s a lot of juice. They pitched it straight to Trump in Pittsburgh. The plan comes with $75 billion …

China indeed has ambitious plans for nuclear power expansion. According to a report by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF), China intends to construct 150 new nuclear reactors between 2020 and 2035. Currently, China has 27 reactors under construction, which is more than two and a half times the number of any other country. Their goal is to build 6 …
Scientists are working on creating compact ‘handheld’ nuclear reactors in a bid to attract aliens to Earth, says an expert. Kevin Knuth, a physics professor at the University at Albany, New York, suggests this experimental concept is already being built as researchers ramp up their efforts to bring extraterrestrial beings to our planet. Prof Knuth …
“Akkuyu NPP is the first nuclear power plant in Turkey> 🇹🇷☢️Turkiye plans to bring all reactors of Akkuyu NPP into service by 2028 President of the Republic of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan said all the reactors of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant (NPP) under construction in Turkiye are intended to be commissioned by 2028. “Construction …
Training large language models is an incredibly power-intensive process that has an immense carbon footprint. Keeping data centers running requires a ludicrous amount of electricity that could generate substantial amounts of greenhouse emissions — depending, of course, on the energy’s source. Now, The Verge reports, Microsoft is betting so big on AI that its pushing …
Weeks before Germany's nuclear closed, utility giant @RWE_AG CEO Markus Krebber rejected calls to save them: "There is still enough electricity" The reactors close.
