Yeah isn't this the reactivation of Three Mile Island and it's specifically being pushed for by meta for their AI

Looks like it was Microsoft https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

But this seems actually different.

Seems like the governor just wants to push forward with new nuclear planets since the last one was shutdown only a few years ago. Apparently this severally effected the energy prices in NY.

Its still probably being pushed by AI companies but we (the us) don't really produce enough power for everything thats up and coming like electric cars.
