Constellation Energy reopens 'Three Mile Island' nuclear power plant in agreement with Microsoft

[@WhispersOnLy]

Because Nuclear is the best (In The US) ☝🏿💯

[@LawrenceLeverton]

Not enough Nuclear Trained peeps to maintain it or man it. And BTW who wants to live there. God Bless Submariners

[@WhispersOnLy]

@@LawrenceLeverton Understandable, but this now means the new technology in the sector has time to shine with ai doing the hard part allowing dummies to become button pushers. If they'd allow a Nuclear Med Tech to do the work after some on the job training, sign me up 💯⚡

@@LawrenceLevertonhey nuclear for one i thinks pretty cool and since there aren’t a ton of positions major incentives will open for those positions which will be good for the economy

[@d.s.8733]

We are so far behind the electrical curve, it is about time we get back to nuclear as it's our only hope plus it's a 1000% safer than it was in 1979!

[@tnnsboy18]

They need to reopen ALL of them, not just Unit 1

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

No

[@ForbiddTV]

One of them can't reopen.

[@tnnsboy18]

@@andredeketeleastutecomplex YES!!

[@tnnsboy18]

@@ForbiddTV excuses! Open them all!

[@ForbiddTV]

@@tnnsboy18 What excuses? 99% of the nuclear fuel has been cleaned up on Unit 2 and that reactor has entered the next phase of clean-up that will last until 2029. Since there was extremely limited damage to unit 2 it could be restarted but likely wouldn't endure the public outcry of doing so.

[@tonosan4696]

😮I feel times have changed. What a dynamic shift! I don't know if this is good for the US in the long run, but the fact that such a plan was announced is symbolic in itself.

More power Scotty !

[@charlie-qh2ll]

That's great for nuclear energy. This will increase the demand, which will lower costs and increase innovation in the nuclear energy sector. This is a boon for the economy and climate.

How about atomic energy?

[@muzzammilbaig8734]

that is nuclear...

[@avman2cl]

It IS atomic energy, Austin.

[@GoodDeal2013]

@@muzzammilbaig8734 yes, was just joking :)

[@sunshineimperials1600]

Speaking of.. maybe nuclear energy should be renamed to atomic energy.. possible PR move in order to disassociate with the name “nuclear”

[@LawrenceLeverton]

@@sunshineimperials1600 Interesting Point. The Atomic Energy Commission was replaced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. God Bless Submariners.

everybody remembers the accident. That doesn’t change the fact that Nuclear is the most environmentally friendly and efficient source of energy

[@ZyliceLiddell]

@@papagramps1257 Not when something goes wrong though..

[@papagramps1257]

@@ZyliceLiddell obviously… Just like air travel is the safest way to travel until something goes wrong. It’s EXTREMELY rare when nuclear accidents, it’s just that when they do they’re a big deal. There are already 54 nuclear plants currently running in the US and I’d bet you can’t name a single one unless an accident has occurred

[@ForbiddTV]

​@@ZyliceLiddell Maybe you don't know, but no one was injured by radiation at Three Mile Island. So even when things go wrong, nuclear energy is still the safest we have.

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

What a terrible idea.

[@ForbiddTV]

Why is that?

[@jaydad1227]

​​@@ForbiddTV However I like nuclear energy But I feel like opening an entire unit may be a bit far due to data centers needing more power like the Oracle centers But for this an gigawatt is needed Even if I'm not sure Microsoft will have the highest safety systems
