Microsoft to Reopen 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant - In The Tank #466
The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and H. Sterling Burnett present episode 466 of the In The Tank Podcast. Surprising news dropped earlier this week when Microsoft announced a partnership that would see the reopening of the 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant. Despite the history of the plant suffering a partial nuclear meltdown back in 1979, Microsoft is so desperate for a source of reliable energy they are moving forward with this plan. What does this reveal about the state of big tech companies and their energy needs? What does this story show in regards to America's future energy composition? The ITT crew talks about all this and more on this week's episode.
