Comment on Can U.S. Tech Giants Deliver on the Promise of Nuclear Power?
mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoThere are immense capacity utility scale batteries available now from 100s of vendors. They would be roughly 100x easier, no exaggeration, to build than a nuclear power plant.

This is just the peak power. The average power is much less. And batteries can maybe work on a grid scale for smoothing, but not for an individual consumer like a data center.

These are grid scale projects. They are designed to power 100s of thousands of homes. They can 100% provide power for even the most energy hungry data centers.
