An opinion piece suggesting nuclear power the answer to datacenter needs, could AWS/GCP/Azure actually work together to solve this challenge?

On the one hand, yeah sure if it helps, on the other hand, yes, let's continue the vertical integration of literally everything! Let's have Big Tech get into power generation and acquire Big Oil!

I wonder if by 2100 only one megacorp remains, will there still be people chanting "having a large market share is not a crime" and as long as theoretically someone could acquire a single digit market share on your market, it's not a monopoly", as we descend into fascism.

you don't have faith in existing monopoly laws? Colour me shocked!

When do we look to restrict a company's areas of control too? Horizontal integration has to be a dystopian nightmare come true
