    What could go wrong?

    This for-profit company will finally come up with a solution to nuclear waste that has eluded the industry for decades. But if that turns out to be expensive, Microsoft will be around for thousands of years to ensure that nothing leaks that shouldn’t. Of course the US government will help them with the cost of establishing the reactors and when something goes wrong (because “nuclear”).

      Shrug. It’s better than nothing or throwing ones hands up and saying “oh well crank up the coal burners!”

        Yeah in the meantime they could just build centifold that power in renewables and an electricity grid to make it available everywhere.

        Everyone who is strongly pro nuclear is also pro coal and other fossil fuels because they do fhe bidding of the cirrent fossil industries. Just using uranium instead of carbon.
