.@SecretaryWright surprises news anchor with how quickly @POTUS is moving on nuclear power: “We have another nuclear power plant we're restarting in southwestern, Michigan...will actually be on early next year.”

Nuclear Energy and AI data and processing centers are linked in terms of requirements. The United States needs to lead in AI development; however, this requires massive computing power. That computing power cannot exist in individual home computers and even in the computing infrastructure of most fortune 1000 companies. Most of the computing power required by AI will be located at cloud-based AI computing data centers. The problem is that these centers require massive stable electricity. Therefore, the US Government needs to link these two industries, forcing the AI datacenter developers and managers to install microgrid nuclear reactors on-site at these datacenters. This will provide the electricity required and these datacenter operators can build out thier electric energy capacity to a point where they can sell electric energy into the local grid. Microreactors are the way of the future since they are self-contained and can be sequenced into a major energy production center very safely to meet local electricity needs over time due to their modularity.
