#TIL of GROWIAN, the world largest wind turbine build in 1983 to proof that wind turbines aren't feasable.

"We require Growian [in the general sense of large wind turbines] as a proof of failure of concept"

"the Growian is a kind of pedagogical tool to convert the anti-nuclear energy crowd to the true faith".

"We know it won't do anything for us. But we do it to demonstrate to the wind energy advocates that it doesn't work."

13 Milliarden gehypt, dann der Absturz: Das „Trump“-Atomprojekt lockte Investoren – und scheitert jetzt spektakulär

Fermi America plante nahe Amarillo ein riesiges KI-Energiecampus-Projekt. Doch der Bau kommt kaum voran, während Investoren und Insider Kasse machen. Nun verdichten sich Klagen und Zweifel am Boom.

Ja, aber das "Chef eines der beiden Unternehmen" bezieht sich wahrscheinlich auf die Fossil-Firma Liberty Energy, das von Chris Wright 2011 gegründet wurde und wo er Chef war.

Das Oklo gerade mit denen zusammenarbeitet hat natürlich nochmal n Geschmäckle, und dass der Artikel das aufzeigt ist gut.

Aber dass Chris Wright beim Nuklear-Startup Oklo drin hängt hätte imho erwähnt gehört.

Just look at all the money US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is funneling towards the nuclear startup #Oklo, where he was head of the board.

How AI Hype Minted Two New Billionaires From A Company With No Revenue

Nuclear power startup Oklo is now worth $21 billion. Its relationships with the Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have certainly helped.

In 2023, bankrupt #Westinghouse was bought for 8 billion $ by #Brookfield and #Cameco.

Now, in the midst of a government shutdown, the administration is supposedly promising 80 billion $ of money it doesn't have? And the US government will only get a sliver of future profits - if there are any - under the condition that Westinghouse will pay out at least 17.5 billion $ to Brookfield and Cameco?

Wow, I wasn't aware of this.

#Nuclear power plant company fails to create enough reserves for demolition and waste disposal, cost gets nationalized.

Just your average #NuclearIsAScam story.
