Constellation Energy to restart Three Mile Island nuclear plant, sell the power to Microsoft for AI

By 2028, total energy requirement for the servers hosting AI will be approximately 100TWh per year.  Three Mile Island produces 7TWh per year, so in four years, AI alone will require 100% of the output of more than 14 nuclear power plants

In a few decades, we’re going to realize how bad this really was

Scientists just figured out how many chemicals enter our bodies from food packaging - The Washington Post

I’m starting to wonder whether “climate scientists” are just   Flat Earthers with degrees

Stopping hurricanes is bold, risky and failed idea. Some want to try again.

The average hurricane produces roughly 75 trillion kWh per day, which is equivalent to all the electricity produced by all the world’s power plants in roughly three years.  It produces the energy equivalent of 10 gigatons of TNT per day, which is approximately 4X more than all the nuclear weapons on Earth combined.  Nothing man has ever produced even comes close to matching the energy of a single Cat. 3 hurricane.

Episode #257: White women better get busy

America’s getting more brown, so y’all white folk better raw dog it, hypocritical left trans-shames Vance for being a hypocrite, learning the psychology of a totalitarian peasant, Trump’s Tic-Tacs and Harris’ word salad perfectly describe why we really have inflation, you’re really NEET, how many chicken wings can you get with $1.5M, and did the US give up Mossad agents to Iran?

Episode #256: Take this all of you and eat it, these are my falsies

Ukraine brilliantly turns the tables on Putin, US wins gold in the sport of outrage at the Olympics, Hamas leader concedes to ceasefire demands so Israel executed him, Chicago PD black site revealed, RFK Jr. describes how he staged a Central Park bicycle crime scene to cover up the roadkill bear he planned to eat (not a typo), and retail stock brokerages blatantly demonstrate how capitalism is a rigged game.

Ukraine invades Russia and controls over 500 sq. km in Kurst and Belgorod Oblast

I’ll do a briefing from OSINT sources.  Ukrainian officials are wisely not commenting and Western media is reporting on days-old intel.
