Courtesy of the Tech Bros, Nuke Puke is receiving a publicity makeover as Safe, Clean & Renewable Energy "we" need to power our techno-future society.  We of course really means they need it to power their Juice Gobbling Hogs, the AI Data Centers that every respectable Billionaire needs to have on his list of energy consumptive toys, to go along with the aircraft carrier sized Private Yachts, Jumbe Jets and Rocket Ships.  Oh, and don't forget the football field sized garages to house the car collections of Bugattis,Maseratis and Rolls-Royces.

At least the carz, Yachts, Planes and Rockets sit idle most of the time.  Not so the AI Data Centers, which have to be on 24/7/365 just in case he wakes up at 3AM and needs it to flush the toilet after he takes a shit.

Donchya know, poor Nuke Puke has been the victim of "misinformation" about their safety:

After nuclear was largely written off in the past due to widespread fears about meltdowns and safety risks — and misinformation that dramatized those concerns — experts are touting tech's recent investments as the start of a "nuclear revival" that could accelerate an energy transformation in the U.S. and around the world.

Thus the reason it is now getting a full scale makeover as the dependable power source to suck up enough juice to keep Chicago lit up like a Christmas Tree or refrigerate Ecuador in midsummer.  An even bigger joke is that they are selling Nuke Puke as RENEWABLE energy!  In what universe is an energy source that depends on strip mining with diesel powered heavy equipment and produces toxic waste that needs to be stored for millenia in an as yet unspecified manner or location "renewable"?  These folks talk with a straight face about needing to double or triple electricity generation over the next 20 years.  Forget the CO2, the waste heat alone from these server farms will probably raise the atmospheric temperature by another 1.5C and turn Greenland into a Tropical Resort.  Which is probably why Trumpsky wants to annex them and build Trump Casinos on the beaches.  ::)

We are DOOMED.  You can't fix stupid.

Bezos and Musk need a new tax-subsidized industry.  They don't have enough zeros yet.  So what better than using stolen Chinese technology protected via new Trump tariffs.  Both own enough politicians to make it so.

The time of the Tech-bro has arrived, and you can't be a cyber-libertarian without owning all the tech you possibly can.  There is never enough to go around in this world.  Tech can solve everything, so it is fine if there are no limits to what the rich own since they will share their wealth as evidenced by their smiles.

Throwing away democracy to make their tax-subsidized industries more profitable is just part of the game.  No big deal.  Americans really don't give two fucks about democracy and regulation anyway.  Democracy requires thought.  Nobody here wants to work that hard.  So it is all good.

I have to be careful with my sarcasm.  Once I was being sarcastic on Clustefuck Nation and Sam Mitchell took me seriously.  That made him delete the interview he did with me.

Fortunately for me my sarcasm can't get me in trouble here.  Search algorithms are programmed not to find us.  Algorithms are the cyber-libertarian dream.  The rich can make you think any which way they want using them.  One algorithm can influence millions of people all at once.  Painlessly.  Since tech bros have algorithms, and you don't, it is time to bend over and kiss it.

Luigi made my You-Tube algorithm go all Law and Order on me.  In a way the average mass shooter never could.  A.I. is the new political future.
