Oracle’s AI plans demand an incredible amount of power, which is also why the company has already secured permits to build three modular nuclear reactors to deliver the electrical needs of its facilities.

That would be so cool, if it wasn't fucking Oracle doing it. This timeline sucks.

OMG companies are taking over infrastructure. I hope they're bound to take care of nuclear waste with the same standards as government does.

Because they'd never bury it under the new data center to be built 10 years from now right? Right? It would give a whole new meaning to pet cemitary.

Of course not! They'll dump it in the river like any other ethical corporation.

I'm pretty shocked that private corporations are allowed to build nuclear reactors. What's next? They get to build weapons grade plutonium?
