I think its because a rumor is floating around that AI centers control flock cameras operated by an Indian fella who is Jewish

In a couple of years those small, mobile, nuclear micro-reactors will be available.
Thats the perfect solution for these data centers energy needs. The more power needed, set up more micro-reactors.

First factory-built, truck- or container-sized units are targeted for 2028, with military and demonstration deployments in the same window and broader commercial scaling in the early 2030s.

These are microreactors (typically 1–20 MWe), far smaller than traditional plants or even most SMRs. Several designs are intended to be factory-built, fueled, tested, then shipped by truck or plane and producing power within days of arrival. They use TRISO fuel, heat pipes, or similar approaches meant to be passively safe and run for years without refueling.Current status (as of late 2026)Multiple U.S. startups reached zero-power criticality in 2026 under DOE pilot programs at Idaho National Laboratory, including designs from Radiant, Antares, Valar Atomics, Deployable Energy, Aalo Atomics, and Westinghouse (eVinci). These tests prove the physics but are not yet licensed commercial plants selling electricity.

Radiant’s 1 MWe Kaleidos is among the most advanced for true mobility: factory construction in Oak Ridge, Tennessee began targeting 2026, with first commercial shipments planned for 2028 and production scaling toward 50 units per year. Equinix has pre-ordered 20 units for data centers, and the U.S. Air Force selected Radiant for Buckley Space Force Base delivery in 2028. Similar 2028 targets appear for Antares, Westinghouse eVinci (~5 MWe), and some others under military programs (ANPI, Janus, Project Pele).

Difference is you didn't need entire power plants to support the data centers for streaming or Facebook like you do with AI.


That's not even close to true, non-AI cloud computing data centers have been in the 10MW - 300+MW range for well over a decade now.
