www.reuters.com/breakingview... While I do support nuclear energy I understand that it is a technology that demands a certain amount of respect for the risks involved. I don't trust these corporate fat cats not to cut corners in the pursuit of profits.

The rush to produce mini nuclear reactors on the cheap might have a short half-life. In search of vast quantities of power for the data centers fueling artificial intelligence, Meta Platforms , Alphabet and Amazon.com have backed a goal to triple the world’s nuclear power capacity by 2050. The prospects for nuclear are indeed brightening, but it is still more expensive and far slower to build than renewables. The upstart approach of making smaller, identikit reactors will struggle even harder to close that gap.
