    Why you continuously talking about AI you’re the only one talking about AI here I’m talking about power load in general. And what you can do is irrelevant because you aren’t the only human on the earth. Lots of people are not in a position to put solar panels on their roof so their load has to be supplied from the national national grid. Where does that energy come from at night?

    Yeah, That’s what base load is.

    It would be really nice if you could educate yourself a little bit rather than being rude to people on the internet.

      You piss others off by being condescending and generalize your answer over the specifics of the post (Google) and then act surprised when someone pisses back?

      Okay then I educate you:

      Base Load = 70% Industrial Needs 24/7

      Base Load = Paid by everyone

      Base Load = Reliable Power

      Again… you don’t need nuclear to run hospitals and street lights.

      I never even said “nuclear bad” only: If nuclear, attach the correct price point to it… including waste disposal. Suddenly huge investments on buffering reliable regenerative energy becomes an option… because nuclear is only cheap when everyone carries the cost, because the Industry needs (base load level safety) power.

      And for the article: Where steel mills produce jobs, LLM training is killing them. So we all will have to pay for the disposal of nuclear waste produced by a startup nuclear reactors without any participation on the profits. It’s not even about Base Load, because Google tries to minimize the strain on “Base Load” by integration of the reactors into the data centers. Still… waste is an issue as with bigger nuclear too. And they won’t pay for the disposal.

      And you are repeating yourself like: “Base Load” " Educate yourself" without even being able to explain anything… except: Base Load is “Night energy”… WTF? BRO?

      Are you even trying? Or is this just another shill/troll post from some “nuclear to the moon” bullshit from Wallstreet bets?
