Let's start here.

Global warming was adopted by the United Nations in 1992 as an unsolvable international problem in an effort to solidify their relevance in a world without the Soviet Union.

Okay. Now that we're all on the same page: given our growing population and the non-renewable nature of fossil fuels (it's probably not as scarce as we are pretending), I don't think it's a bad idea to invest in alternative forms of energy creation like nuclear power.

But not like this.

Google, Microsoft and Amazon are planning on investing in small nuclear reactors in an effort to find a carbon-free source of electricity for it's artificial intelligence.

Gall.

Damn.

It.

I'm sick of this.

I am so sick of this.

The only reason we don't use nuclear power now is because of one disaster and near disasters in the early stages of implementation.

It's a false flag.

The 1979 meltdown at Three Mile Island is considered a disaster, but it seems like most people don't realize nothing actually happened. There was a partial nuclear meltdown, which sounds terrible because of all those duck-and-cover drills they ran in the 1950's. But, there were no adverse effects. Studies by Columbia University and the University of Pittsburgh showed that, even though major damage was done to the reactor, there were negligible effects on health and the environment.

Next, we go to Chernobyl and I get a chance to talk about the greatest television show of the last seven years, Chernobyl on HBO. It's one of those shows where they were probably trying to say something scathing about Donald Trump, but ended up making the greater point that Communism sucks and more government means more corruption.

Anyway, one of the big reasons for the 1986 Chernobyl disaster is because the Communists cut corners when building in safety features to their reactors to save money. Also, Communist regimes traditionally don't care about human life, so why would they worry about safety features? The efforts to clean up the worst nuclear energy disaster in history has more to do with the hard work of Russian patriots (yeah, they can be patriots, too).

After all that, Chernobyl didn't shut down until December 15, 2000.

I know it's hard to believe, but technology and safety protocols have come a long way in forty years. And, if we put significantly more time and effort into developing nuclear power, we'd get better and better at it. The anti-nuclear movement somehow still holds strong.

The anti-nuclear movement is non-sensical. In a Capitalist world, being able to maximize energy production would drive innovation. Obviously, Google, Microsoft and Amazon realize this.

Michael Shellenberger, a leftist and environmentalist who has become a darling of the right after his truth bombs, has made it clear that anyone who gnashes their teeth and rends their garments over climate change shouldn't be taken seriously if they don't consider nuclear energy a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

Shellenberger even wrote about former California Governor Jerry Brown's anti-nuclear efforts. Governor Brown imposed regulations on oil, forcing California companies to buy cleaner fuel from Indonesia. Then, Brown started closing all the nuclear power plants in California on the grounds of being anti-nuclear, so now Californians had to buy more of the (regulated) fuel from Indonesia. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that Jerry Brown was heavily invested in Indonesian oil.

And that's a problem for the U.N. isn't it? All this nonsense about man-made climate change motivated by fossil fuels as an unsolvable problem but humanity already has the answer.

Nuclear energy.

Which is why Amazon is investing $500 million in three projects in Virginia and Washington to help power it's generative AI.

Google plans on bringing its first small modular reactor online by 2030, with more coming by 2035.

And Microsoft? They're reviving Three Mile Island.

All of this to power AI.

Gall.

Damn.

It.

Do you want Terminators? Because this is how we get Terminators.

As much as I would never, EVER trust a Communist when nuclear energy is on the line, I don't trust Google, Microsoft and Amazon either. Especially when they are pursuing nuclear energy explicitly to advance their artificial intelligence platforms. From Isaac Asimov to Philip K. Dick to Black Mirror to 2001: A Space Odyssey, the modern philosophers have been warning us about losing ourselves to the machine.

This article is already too long, so I'm going to summarize:

Humans will lose their humanity to artificial intelligence. We will become useless, dumb(er), and laz(yer) as a result of the advancement of this technology. As much as I want nuclear power (and, oh boy, do I), I don't know if this is the way to do it.

Go read a book, losers.
