IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE

The dead and stinking Three Mile Island power plant is going to be reactivated (mostly, except for Reactor #2 that melted down) within the next year or so.  The principle, and maybe sole, customer for the power will be Microsoft to power their AI endeavors.  

Smart move, if they can pull it off.  Stuff like AI and Data Mining for Bitcoin sucks up HUGE amounts of power.  Having your own very reliable source will be a huge plus for them.
