Microsoft is betting on small modular nuclear reactors to grow its energy infrastructure for training AI, a highly ambitious plan.

    with the hopes of buying electricity from it as soon as 2028.

    Fusion won’t be ready by then

    Energy should be public

      energy, water, food and housing should not be used for profit. Everything else is fair game.

        Nah, not everything else. You can add healthcare to the list.

        But there’s so much profit to be made in things required to survive.

        There isn’t a price point at which I’ll choose to quit using food and water.

      Max Planck seems to have learned from the Fraunhofer mp3 thing and is getting their hands dirty with commercialising Stellerators. “In the 2030s”, right now they’re drafting, maybe simulating. Awfully short on details right now if you understand anything about fusion.
