The U.S. government is shelling out a whopping $2.7 billion to three companies in an effort to strengthen domestic uranium enrichment, amid surging electricity demand from AI data centers.
The Department of Energy announced on Monday that it will award $900 million each to American Centrifuge Operating and Orano Federal Services, as well as General Matter, a nuclear startup backed by billionaire investor Peter Thiel.
The funding will be distributed through task orders over the next 10 years, under what the department described as a “strict milestone approach.”
These people got so much money it’s literally an existential threat to the rest of us
Ah yes the pro quo
Evil never dies, goes bankrupt, or loses control.
Fallout looking more and more realistic by the day…
I thought he made that kind of money as spare change on the lecture circuit when he tells people he knows about the anti-christ.
Don’t worry, we will fork over 10x that in 20 years when we have to clean up all of the obsolete and abandoned data centers. There is no way any company is going to do that themselves.
FUCK PETER THEIL. His Cocksucking bitch ass will be the end of us

Welcome back to the political spoils system
Love me some nuclear investment.
It’s the best carbon-free base load power we have.
Yeah, I have no problem with government investing in industry, I have always liked nuclear. Where my concerns lie is in the obvious cronyism and the myriad government investments that have ended up not bearing fruit for anyone but the rich.
But this one may be different!
Eat the rich
