MODERATORS
This seems kind of ideal though, computers provide a near constant load (relatively speaking) that combines very well with nuclear energy.
Perhaps we should be asking why we haven’t already been doing this for the past decade?
Because it costs less money ~~to push the cost to~~ for taxpayers to subsidize it than owning it
Correction
Those data centers are paying for their electrical usage. Economies of scale just make it more favorable for them over building their own power generation (solar/wind excluded).
Tell me you know nothing about data centers without telling me.
