What is “one of the first” supposed to mean? It’s definitely not the first. Weird way to put it.

So Iran can’t but the US can? Is this plant going to be an acceptable target now that the US has entered the war?
There is only one side here that is obsessed with terror attacks on civilian nuclear facilities and it's not Iran
that’s right. how ironic is it that Iran can’t but US can.
Have you considered the following:
this is what american fascists do, yeah. it’s deplorable.
Is it all for an AI computer?
Of course that's how to make economy 🙂
Yeah isn't this the reactivation of Three Mile Island and it's specifically being pushed for by meta for their AI
Looks like it was Microsoft https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai
But this seems actually different.
Seems like the governor just wants to push forward with new nuclear planets since the last one was shutdown only a few years ago. Apparently this severally effected the energy prices in NY.
Its still probably being pushed by AI companies but we (the us) don't really produce enough power for everything thats up and coming like electric cars.
For TMI, yes. You could say that it's all computer!
Can...can we build it after Trump leaves? I'd rather not have a target here.
Trump reduced the “red tape” to build this so it might just be dangerous on its own
Assuming it comes online in less than a decade and not drastically over budget
A grift for the technocrats.
Eh, the newest generation of reactors are actually really safe. It's been a while since I've read up on them, but I believe that it's impossible for some of them to meltdown.
The red tape for building nuclear plants was based on the first few gen reactors, and needed to be reduced.
Thoughtfully reduced and changed. I don't trust that the red tape reduction in this case was thoughtful, though I will admit I haven't looked myself. With all the shit being thrown at the wall it's impossible to keep up, even though nuclear power generation is one of my areas of interest.
You realize all power plants are a "target" right?
building nuclear power plants take so long that he probably will be dead when it is done
Burkina Faso will have gone nuclear by the time they finish this shit
