The Three Mile Island nuclear plant, home of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, would restart under a deal in which Microsoft purchases all its power.

👍👍👍

The tax breaks in the Inflation Recovery Act are crucial to making the deal economically feasible, according to Constellation. They provide a credit for every megawatt hour of nuclear energy produced.

lmao so instead of this funding the energy transition it’s just subsidizing the AI grift

    It’s a tossup between Three Mile Isle and Centralia for who gets to be called Pennsylvania’s Chernobyl. (Personally I vote Centralia since it’s still a hazard… I should visit)

      Centralia is fun.

      Three Mile is undisputed PA Chernobyl for me. My family were friends with another, the mother & daughter of which were from Philly but just happened to be a few miles from Three Mile the day things went down. Both of them developed breast cancer decades apart, with no prior family history thinky-felix
