Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Even ignoring AI datacenter builds, we still need clean energy. I would be all for nuclear fission if it were at all economically viable. It just isn't.
yeah, even the green case for nuclear - which has been around for a long time - falters on wind and solar with battery just being hilariously cheaper. At this point the funding problem is interconnects.
@codinghorror @dgerard @frezik batteries are also on a tear and combined with solar/wind already had an LCOE of just about the same as nuclear in 2023. To the extent there is a case for nuclear, it’s undermined by how long it takes to spin up a reactor compared to the annual advances in scaling renewables and batteries.
