Curious what you guys think.

I’ll save my opinion for now, because baddog will feverishly disagree for the sake of disagreeing with a very stable genius such as myself.

Power can even be sold back to the grid similar to our cogen plants at industrial facilities now. Provide incentives for using Texas technology.

Water can be re-chilled and recycled. No different than on our naval vessels.

People are freaking out right now due to hype, and I wonder—and have read—that some may be being influenced by China as they don’t want the U.S. to lead in AI. Another ‘arms race’. Plus, this technology is science fiction scary stuff to many.

EDIT: Full Disclosure

I do own a small sliver of a nuclear ETF, and am pro small nuclear modules being used in multiple ways. I also believe the U.S. must lead--safely--in AI.

I was concerned with the water usage and the acreage needed for these centers. I believe 6 centers are planned for the Houston area alone.
