There are no free reactors in America
Solving AI's Energy Crisis with Decentralized Compute, w/ Akash CEO Greg Osuri (The People's AI: The Decentralized AI Podcast)
“The last nuclear reactor took about 14 years in the U.S…. We have about 96 reactors in America. They’re fully utilized 93% of the time. The last remaining reactor was the Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania that was scooped up by Microsoft and a 20-year lease. So there are no free reactors in America.” — 00:07:15
Context: Why nuclear can’t rescue AI demand on any relevant timescale: “It doesn’t matter if you want to build. You just can’t build” [00:07:59]. (Whisper renders it “three-mile-long island.”)
