"clean energy"

Don't nuclear power plants produce waste which is highly problematic because it's hazardous and radioactive? I wouldn't call that clean. And SMRs generate even more waste than big nuclear plants.

Burying the small amount of waste in a stable non-actively forming mountain for a few thousand years is 1000x better than burning things and putting them into the air.

Google, like Microsoft then begs for taxpayer money to run this operation and the government, being in bed with all companies agrees to sell its citizens out...yet again.

Inb4 Microsoft and google electricity services for residents.

If it results in the nuclear plants remaining online and providing energy after the AI bubble pops, that doesn't seem so bad.

Fission is one of the cleanest energy sources we have today.
