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?
