The Three Mile Island Nuclear plant, home of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, would restart under a deal in which Microsoft purchases all its power.

👍👍👍

The tax breaks in the Inflation Recovery Act are crucial to making the deal economically feasible, according to Constellation. They provide a credit for every megawatt hour of nuclear energy produced.

lmao so instead of this funding the energy transition it's just subsidizing the AI grift

      It might happen by 2128

      Seriously though - I wonder how that firm choose four years. "About a decade" is equally bullshit but to some people it would sound like a moonshot they might get to. But four years sounds like purely made up bullshit to appeal to VC firms.
