If you have predictable demand at that scale, nuclear might make more sense than the combination of gas and solar.


I am hoping nuclear batteries make a comeback by the desire for all this compute and its voracious appetite for energy.


We have rolls royce small modular reactors (SMRs) driving a similar functionality in the UK


For context, at the moment they hope to have them operating some time in the 2030s. That’s a best case, just like the cost estimates (which operating practically and safely may be more than what people are forecasting)

Not operating today like it sounds from the comment.
