Amazing how thoughtless supposed geniuses' are.
Zuckerberg is stubbornly ignorant or completely clueless that the spread of nuclear power technology and its enriched uranium fuel increases the global proliferation of nuclear weapons and the increased risk of accidental or deliberate nuclear war.

Meta (Facebook) going to wade into the "Big Muddy" of nuclear power in AI quest... Zuckerberg's big mistake and fool's errand chasing Small Mirage Reactors.

 The Facebook and Instagram parent aims to deploy new nuclear generation capacity to power its data centers beginning in the early 2030s, it said Tuesday.

It's like an infectious fever spreading this delusion that nuclear power can be generated safe, clean, secure and affordable.

More curious, where does Zuckerberg think he is going to stick all of FaceBook's additional high-level radioactive waste? >on future generations? Thoughtless.

It really is true, like P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Facebook could soon be powered by nuclear energy as its parent company seeks to build multiple power plants to supercharge its artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions.

US House Resolution-9495 passed largely along party lines. The legislative bill now proceeds to the US Senate.

"This legislation would allow the Secretary of the Treasury to designate section 501(c) nonprofits as 'terrorist supporting organizations' at the Secretary’s discretion, without requiring the Secretary to share their full evidence or reasoning with accused nonprofits. Furthermore, the legislation runs counter to constitutional due process protections by placing the burden of proof on the accused organization and providing only 90 days for organizations to demonstrate their innocence before revoking their tax-exempt status."

Support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) while we still have one.

A bill, HR 9495, which would allow a presidentially appointed treasury secretary to unilaterally strip a nonprofit of its status if deemed a “terrorism-supporting” organization, has passed in the US House of Representatives.

Russia's ban on sale of its low enriched uranium to fuel US nuclear reactors first takes aim at the US domestic fuel supplier at Ohio-based Centrus Corp, which has a loaded ship sitting in the port of St. Petersburg.

Nuclear fuel supplier Centrus Energy said on Monday it has received a notice from Russia's TENEX that its government passed an order, which canceled its license to export low-enriched uranium to the U.S., effective through Dec. 31, 2025.

Nuclear power is not "clean," nor "safe," nor "affordable," nor "climate resilient," nor "secure." Go renewables, storage, conservation and energy efficiency for the 21st Century.

Limits creates potential supply risks to utilities operating American reactors that generate almost a fifth of the country’s electricity.

Russia bans sales of enriched uranium to the United States.

Russia has imposed restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the United States, the government said on Friday, creating supply risks for U.S. nuclear power plants which last year imported a quarter of their enriched uranium from the country.

"Talk is cheap," particularly so, when compared to uncontrollable reactor construction cost and unthinkably expensive nuclear accident insurance premiums. So much so, that taxpayers and ratepayers are on the hook. New York Times reporting from COP29, Baku, Azerbaijan

Growing worldwide energy demand and other factors have shifted the calculus, but hurdles still lie ahead.

An important new film about the utter failure by governments to admit that veterans who witnessed the atomic tests and conducted the later "cleanup" were exposed to radiation that harmed not only their health but subsequent generations. Kudos to Labrats and Alan Owen for their relentless pursuit of the truth and for some kind of justice. This is the story of UK vets but it's universally true.
