    Promises, promises. I haven’t heard of one that’s actually in commercial operation right now.

    But, apples and oranges… it’s a bullshit choice. Power plants generate power, DC’s consume power.

    If you going to generate power, why look beyond solar/wind and batteries? At a much lower price, and much faster build times, they too are ‘physically incapable of going into meltdown’, and are already in use worldwide, no wait time.

    As far as DC’s go, they depend on very new technology (enjoying a trendy fad) which -will- get far less power-hungry than they are. Or else. (The grid’s not ready for them.)

    The only people in a rush seem to be the people who invested in all the snake oil promises that LLM’s are real A.I. … which they aren’t.
