The U.S. government is shelling out a whopping $2.7 billion to three companies in an effort to strengthen domestic uranium enrichment, amid surging electricity demand from AI data centers.
The Department of Energy announced on Monday that it will award $900 million each to American Centrifuge Operating and Orano Federal Services, as well as General Matter, a nuclear startup backed by billionaire investor Peter Thiel.
The funding will be distributed through task orders over the next 10 years, under what the department described as a “strict milestone approach.”



Bernie really isn’t a Democrat, he’s an independent that runs under the Dem ticket for presidential elections.
Further proving the point that there are no progressive Dems.
People forget that, and it’s the very reason the Dems would NEVER nominate him for president.
He’s not a Dem, he doesn’t raise money for Dems, and he criticizes the Dems as much as Republicans. We may not see much difference between them, but I assure you, the DNC views Bernie as just as much an outsider as any MAGA candidate.
The nomination for the presidency is the highest honor a party can offer a member, and they aren’t going to give it to an outsider who is trying to hijack their party system for his own advancement, any more than they’d give it to a MAGA.
