Is the idea for the biggest consumers of electricity to supply their own power at point of use (or close to it)?
I imagine Amazon's load is pretty consistent. I could see economical reasons for them to want to do that, considering how much power AWS consumes. They have the economies of scale.
Which, I was going to say I dislike, because these big consumers of power should be heavily footing the cost to maintain and build electrical infrastructure as part of the grid...but we all know they get special purchase agreements.
So this makes Amazon, Microsoft and Google jumping on board the nuclear energy train. Meta would have to be the next domino surely?
