Not supporting Microsoft, but didn't they just lease out a nuclear power plant to reduce their carbon emissions?

Three Mile Island, and they want to do it to power their AI development. Not move their current servers and infrastructure to the nuclear power grid.

And the owner of Three Mile Island, who's working with Microsoft, is trying to get the fed to give him the money needed to get the plant running again. Taxpayer money for Microsoft's AI project that they'll reap all the reward from.

Working on reactivating Three Mile Island.
