There’s currently not enough electricity in the US the reliably power all the planned datacenters.
>>61556701haha yeah
>>61556701haha I guess we'll have to build some more nukular power plants then haha.
>>61556785>15 year construction periodHehe
>>61556956>he doesn't knownuclear power plants are being fast-tracked now chud.https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-selects-11-projects-program-fast-track-small-nuclear-test-reactors-2025-08-13/>get them running within a yearwhat did the US Dep't of Energy mean by that?
>>61557066yeah, I remember when lockheed was promising to have working mini fusion reactors by 2020:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlYClniDFkM
>>61557066the wildest pipe dream I’ve ever seen kek
I explained this all once before but you idiots don't ever listen. The problem is not generation, you can put up a SMR or Gas Plant in fairly short order. It's the infrastructure that is a colossal nightmare to deal with, you cannot physically expand the grid fast enough to compensate, there are not enough workers or enough money in the USA to do it.
>>61557096This is something that has been badly neglected for decades and won't be solved by 2035 or whenever these imaginary data centers are supposed to come online.
>>61556956*bureaucratic red tape period
>>61556701>>61556785>>61557066>>61557096None of these data centers or nuclear reactors will ever come online. AI mania will have subsided by then, and this will be rembered as the largest economic boondoggle in human history.
>>61556701How long can they keep building datacenters that wont do anything? 6, maybe 7 more days?
>bizlets still think this is biden's america
>>61557541they'll keep doing whatever retarded bullshit they are told to do, as long as they are getting paid
>>61557576Migatards think trump is gonna build nuclear reactors in a week. LolGonna be a lot of datacenters collecting dust when all this is said an done.
>>61557576Look at the incompetent censoring of the Epstein files.This is way worse.
>>61557628markets are forward looking faggotbuy AI stocks that crashed and buy the ones that didnt crash yet
>>61556701Just buy more electricity from somewhere else using the massive profits that these data centres make.
>>61557942and retards are stupid looking. let me say it in a way you might understand migatard. no electricity no data center output. No output no money.
>>61556701I'm accidently here from anime/cuteWhat can I do with this knowledge?
>>61556785We unironically can't build any because we closed the last forge large enough to make an AP1000 RPV (reactor pressure vessel) like 15 years ago. And ofc we are too proud to ask some from China or Russia. We are in full idiocracy mode, it's only a descent into the abyss of negroland & incompetency crisis from now on.
>>61557513But that's the play.AI will fail. BTC will fail.Power generators will still be here.Checkmate.
>>61557513>nooo you can't enjoy cheap clean power from all these new nuclear plantscry harder, faggot
>>61557699>force doj to 30 day deadline during the holidaysno normal person cares about muh epstein. hope the interns gave you some nice slop to keep you occupied. >>61557991>brainrotted jewbrain can't stop thinking about them. didn't read, stay mad.
>>61558027Why not contract the ones who build reactors for submarines and aircraft carriers. This seems like such a stupid excuse coming from a country that has so many options.
>>61558119>force doj to 30 day deadline during the holidays They haven't complied, they're not censoring the victims, they're censoring rich people instead. Also they censored public bill Clinton photos taken with Michael Jackson and his kids and released them with the Epstein files that are already public, which has nothing to do with them.
>>61558071All these plants are financed at a ludicrous projected $/kwh dreamed up by tech CEOs who envisage every job on earth being replaced by these data centres by next friday. As soon as that fantasy hits reality and the magic money dries up, these plants are getting instantly abandoned.
Restarting mothballed reactors seems to be the short term patch. Three Mile Island and Michigan Palisades are both in the process of being restarted, though in both cases the utility company is finding out that mothballed plants have a tendency to decay so more work has to be done to refurbish the support systems than initially anticipated.
>>61561385Much of the money flowing into the tech/AI companies is coming from public pension funds. Going to be interesting if AI doesn't pan out and the bubble pops, leaving lots of the pension funds insolvent.
>>61558656Those miniature reactors don't have enough output for a power plant.
>>61561407You couldn't pay me enough try and in mothball a nuclear plant from the 70s. I work in municipal infrastructure and rehabs of old facilities are by far the most headache-inducing and frustrating work that I do.
>>61558071it won't make electricity any cheaper you retard. they fund these power plants with massive loans that need to be repaid over decades, which sets a price floor on that particular generating station. if it's not economically feasible to sell at that price then the plant goes bankrupt and ceases generating.
>>61556701this is why I'm buying utilitieswhile you stupid faggots are gung-hoh over AI I'm buying quality companies that will expand their electric grid over the next 20 years and inevitable raise ratesa LOT are trading at PEs under 20 and some under 10
Buy URA
>>61561451Then scale them. There are tonnes of startups in America waiting to do if regulatory restrictions are lifted.
buy VOLT. like buying a shovel factory in a gold rush.
>>61557513>please stop investing in AI, amelica!!
>>61561482I get the feeling they'll end up rebuilding most everything outside of the reactor itself. Sometimes, well, very often actually, it's easier to blank slate and start anew. The reactor would be much more difficult for many reasons, both physical and regulatory.
>>61556701Sharp hat my man
>>61556785>>61556701Energy VC bonanza anons, did you really think they’d just sanely invest in desalination in tandem with nuclear power? No, you will receive grant funding of billions of dollars for ChatGPT based schizo schematics and you will love it
>>61556701okay, i believe youbut what about planned energy projects, you left out of those, big boy
>>61557096True, remember when someone shot up a substation a few years ago? There's no warehouse of spares for those giant grid transformers, the manufacturers have long waiting lists, and getting an emergency replacement means diverting one meant for someone else.
