On the one hand, I'm glad someone's finally dragging us back into using one of the most potent energy sources available to mankind. On the other, of course it's being driven by the miserable mess called "corporate AI".
Best case scenario, the infrastructure for new nuclear platforms is available by the time the AI bubble bursts, leaving low-cost systems available for useful power generation. Worst case (or more likely, depending on your point of view): Manufacturers go bust after investing all that money, leaving people yet again mistakenly viewing nuclear as a pointless money pit.
