  1. Microsoft AI Needs So Much Power It’s Restarting Site of US Nuclear Meltdown Sep. 20, 2024 at 4:31 am (Bloomberg) — The owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania will invest $1.6 billion to revive it, agreeing to sell all the output to Microsoft Corp. as the tech titan seeks carbon-free electricity for data centers to power the artificial intelligence boom. Constellation Energy Corp., the biggest US operator of reactors, expects Three Mile Island to go back into service in 2028, according to a statement Friday. While one of the site’s two units permanently closed almost a half-century ago after the worst US nuclear accident, Constellation is planning to reopen the other reactor, which shut in 2019 because it couldn’t compete economically. Microsoft has agreed to purchase the energy for two decades and declined to disclose financial terms. This is the first time Microsoft has secured a dedicated, 100% nuclear facility for its use. The decision is the latest sign of surging interest in the nuclear industry as power demand for AI soars. More than a dozen reactors went dark over roughly the past decade in the face of increasing competition from cheaper natural gas and renewable energy. But growing demand for electricity — from factories, cars and especially from data centers — has spurred interest in nuclear plants that can provide carbon-free power around the clock. “Policymakers and the market have received a huge wake-up call,” Constellation Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said in an interview. “There’s no version of the future of this country that doesn’t rely on these nuclear assets.” Why uranium stocks are up today. UUUU +.28 to $5.23.
  2. It can never be easy. I’m getting too old for this.
  3. Sometimes you say more by saying less. Collingsworth doesn’t do that.
  4. So, can we move the ball without Mixon?
  5. Yep, a 3 year deal. He’s only 30 yrs old. Fairbairn could be our kicker for the next decade.
  6. Whatever we’re paying Fairbairn, it ain’t enough.
  7. I drive a 2010 Lexus RX 350 with only 70,000 miles on it. I’ve never owned a car for 14 years, but this has been a solid luxury SUV and has given me absolutely no issues at all. So, I’ve made the decision to keep this car until further notice. Here’s the deal. My wife’s Lexus sedan gets the spot in the garage, so my ride is exposed to the elements. Since I’ve made the decision to keep the RX 350 long-term, I want it to look as good on the outside as it possibly can. No worries about the interior as I keep that pretty darn pristine. Soooo the plan is to use compound on the paint that’s oxidized followed by a lite ceramic coating on the vehicle. Have any of you had a ceramic coating on your vehicles and what are your thoughts in regards to that?
  8. Watching political commentator Paul Begala representing as he opined on CNN. He had this big ass Longhorn on his laptop.
  9. Yeah, I’m through. But, I do like my chances of getting out of a speeding ticket over the chances of @nineliveslost or @Doc Daneeka.
  10. Of course, it can. So, why give them more cause to make your life miserable? No, you’re wrong. My take is very much grounded in reality.
  11. It takes a fucking dumbass to go out of his way to provoke the police.
  12. This is CNN.
  13. Same here. My son got tickets for us to attend game 2 of the 2017 ALCS with the Yankees. Watched JV strike out 13 batters and we won it in the bottom of the ninth. The best baseball game I’ve watched in person. I hope, I hope, I hope he gets it together. As my stock broker says, “ I’m cautiously optimistic.”
  14. Our secondary needs to get its shit together. The completed bombs were just a tad discerning.
  15. Mixon’s an okie and I’ve never liked him, but today I love him.
  16. You can not stop us. You can only hope to contain us.
  17. I expect us to win today. Am actually feeling confident. There were times I thought I’d never have this feeling again, LFG!!!!
  18. Overrated (clap clap …clap clap clap)
  19. Love seeing ISU beat Iowa.
