A new online chatbot is making waves on social media for both its precise and also painfully honest answers.

And suddenly you have had

data centers and tech companies saying they need, you know, gigawatts of power.

A gigawatt is about what a reactor produces.

So to have one facility that takes an entire reactor's worth of power is just something that we hadn't seen before.

So it just really turned the power industry on its head.

And they were talking about how much power they would need.

And he was just stunned by the amount of electricity that the tech folks were talking about needing for AI and the size of data centers that they would build.

And so he is sitting at this meeting and thinking they are going to need nuclear reactors to do this.

And

you know, went home from this meeting and told people at Constellation to start looking at, you know, just what would it take to restart Three Mile Island.

That is also considered expensive.

kind of low-hanging fruit for getting nuclear power onto the grid.

This is kind of the easiest, fastest thing that you can do, is just take a reactor that hasn't yet been dismantled and get it back online.

Yeah, this is a big deal.

This is new in the U.S.

Previously, if you closed a nuclear reactor down, if you're decommissioning a nuclear power plant, that's just it, kind of end of story.

That plant goes away.

Oh, no.

I don't think so.
