If only there was a large industry that needs to be downsized that has such people in it.


Is this a swipe at AI?

>Energy demand in the United States is growing for the first time in a decade, driven by power-hungry AI and the rapid spread of data centers.

The Q I'm really interested in having answered is why experts are not pointing to geothermal as a scaleable way to get radionuclides into the biosphere. Seems like a great way to get govs to pay attention. Do they fear becoming the latest incarnation of Thomas Midgley Jr?

(aside to Paul: I don't ascribe to conspiracy theory what sheer negligence can explain :)


No, at the oil and gas industry.
