At this point, I’ll take nuclear over fossil fuels
my man.. this is not being refurbished to replace fossil, this is being built to feed microshit's datacenters and US taxpayer gonna pay for it.
sure nuclear would be great... but this aint for us ;)
My guy, they're going to power it either way on our dime. His point is better it's nuclear than fossil at least.
i don't want key facts why this is happening to be lost in the discourse.
always follow the the money.
also accepting these parasite corpo wins as some sort of win for the peasants is mehh
but sure, cool!
I think you're still missing the point. It's a loss, it's criminal, our government sucks. There is no win here. But AT LEAST it's not another coal mine reopening or a new pipeline. This comment has nothing to do with why this is happening or trying to convince anyone it's a good thing. Slow your attack
You are providing politcal cover for this extraction attempt... I am clarifying the record that giving mega corps money to so they can fund their datacenter infrastructure is not good. If they want to do this, let them pay for it.
Y'all need to start thinking at system level instead of larping corpo propaganda to get you accept a hand out.
You’re missing his point because you want t trumpet your own. Let me flip the question around a bit
If they were to build for, and pay for the electrical capacity on their own dime, would you prefer them doing it with nuclear or coal?
Let it go man, he is intentionally missing the silver lining here.
Lesser of two evils set up created by the owner class and y'all just larp it at every turn...
I guess we deserve the regime we got.
Until plebs start think on systemic level, nothing will change.
But sure cheer, for mega corp getting a hand out because you like the type of hand they got!
My guy, he's making a pretty limited point and is agreeing with you. You're strawmanning his comments to an absurd degree.
To be fair, half of USA citizens are illiterate
