I heard there is a plan to build up to 40 Amazon size warehouse buildings for
AI computer to be housed. there is also a plan to put most all old nuclear plants
back on line to power them all.
there is in no way any way a environmental impact report that would pause
this expansion.
I look at: AI as artificial (meaning fake) intelligence.
what are they thinking?

excerpt from New Yorker article, "How Safe Are Nuclear Power Plants?"
"The U.S. nuclear-construction program collapsed decades ago, in part
because of chronic cost overruns, but there are still ninety-two aging nuclear
reactors operating in the U.S., and many utility companies want to extend their
original forty-year licenses by another twenty years. Around the world, more
than four hundred reactors are in operation, most of them using U.S. designs, or
similar ones, from the sixties and seventies, which have documented flaws that
are not easily correctable. The nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi, Japan, for
example, where meltdowns occurred in 2011, were designed by General
Electric; there are thirty-one plants of the same basic G.E. vintage currently
operating in the U.S. Wellock discloses internal records describing specific and
potentially urgent safety issues, still unresolved, that pertain directly to many of
the nuclear plants operating downwind of major population centers. Some of
the foreign operators who rely on U.S. reactor designs may read his book and
wonder whether there’s a refund policy."
