Scaling Nuclear to Fuel AI Energy Needs
Nuclear power is “extremely well-suited” to powering artificial intelligence, says Kathryn Huff from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Huff speaks with Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.” ——– Like this video?

We’ve been hearing about this for a year now… I have yet to see ground broken on a single new nuclear facility. What has changed? It’s wayyyyyyyy too slow. We need to be able to build these things in a couple of years, not a couple of decades. And the only thing stopping us is oil lobbying and inability to move quickly due to atrophying expertise and regulatory constraints.

Cheapest energy is in China currently. Will Musk go to China and bring them X AI?? Especially if his US citizenship is threatened?
CCP – you reading this? He’s warm for the taking…

Using nuclear to fuel AI. What an obscenity.

Here’s the good news: the government wants these AI advancements just as much as anybody else; so, I think the whole AI thing and the immense power that’ll be needed for these gigawatt facilities will accelerate our country’s transition to more wide-spread use of nuclear energy.
Also, once the gov sees how effective and well it works for the data centers, we’ll start seeing more nuclear being used to power everything else.
