Interesting as old nuclear plants are always said to be expensive to operate due to maintenance and old technology issues. Microsoft must really be in a bind to go for an expensive and uncertain supply.

I assume this is pr to distract from their increasing use of fossil fuels

Yeah but Three Mile Island? Seriously?

Now it's possible that the MSFT press release gave it a more anodyne name and the press sussed out where it was, but still.

Well, it's a hell of a distraction!

Augh, augh, I'm starting to sound like one of those conspiracy nuts who think Beyoncé times her album releases to distract people from what the illuminati are getting up to. Time to stop....
