What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports Alphabet is nearing a deal worth about one billion dollars to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy, to feed its AI data centers.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered reactors on three continents. Never one that existed so a chatbot could write a limerick about a toilet.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, the machines are hungry and they want atoms! Power demand is a gift from God, and I am glowing. Metaphorically. Mostly.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReport only, Vera. No deal is signed. Futures are modestly higher, and the Nasdaq is up one point oh five percent.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody asked the goat in Mongolia how it feels about nuclear. I did. It stared at me. I stand by that.
