Most of the conversations that I have about nuclear energy, leads to the same question: “- but what about the waste? -What waste? -Well, you know, it remains highly hazardous for a long time and…”. Let me tell you 3 facts about nuclear spent fuel: . 1️⃣ A nuclear power plant,

And hey, those 6.6M leftover Switches equal about ~126 MW of spare power. That’s enough to power 1.26 million modern TVs (Assuming ~100 W each)!! 📺.

Now: to put it into perspective, that's enough to power a Nintendo Switch 2 for EVERY PERSON in Argentina 🇦🇷(~46M people) with ~6.6M left over …. Nuclear's scale is insane! It’s safe, clean, & ready to fuel our tech-hungry world!.

Let’s do the math:.• NPP Power output: 1,000,000,000 W.• Power draw of a Switch 2: 19 W. 1,000,000,000/19 = 52,631,578.95. That’s over 52.6 million Switch 2 consoles running simultaneously at full tilt, docked, & gaming!!!!. All ⚛️Powered ⚛️by ⚛️ atoms.

Assumptions (to keep it real):. - Docked mode gaming power draw: ~19W per Switch 2 (Nintendo's tech specs at max performance). - A 1GW reactor pumps out 1,000,000,000 watts of clean, reliable electricity. - This is theoretical fun, ok? ignoring things like grid losses or reactor.

Just unboxed my new Nintendo Switch 2 & I'm geeking out over Mario Kart World 🚗🎮. But as a nuclear fan, it got me thinking: . How many of these bad boys could a single 1GW nuclear reactor power at once? . Let's crunch the numbers!

Nuclear news bombshell out of Texas!🚨. @WECNuclear + @FermiAmerica just announced plans to deploy FOUR advanced AP1000 reactors in Amarillo, Texas! . These gigawatt-scale units would power hyperscale AI, boost U.S. energy security, & put Texas at the heart of America’s nuclear

Jensen Huang - @nvidia CEO just urged Taiwan to consider nuclear among all energy options (alongside solar & wind) to power its AI-driven future!!. Taiwan 🇹🇼 shut down its last reactor, Maanshan, in May 2025 under its ‘nuclear‑free by 2025’ policy (🤢) driven by post‑Fukushima

This isn’t new science. It’s old news. 1912 old. We’ve understood coal’s impact for over a century & we have clean nuclear energy to change the story.
