Solar Noon

This week we discuss several "mega projects" slated for the sleeping town of Piketon, OH - population 2,200. These include an ongoing nuclear cleanup from decades of emissions from a nuclear fuel enrichment plant that was closed in the early 2000's, plants to re-open a new nuclear enrichment facility designed to fuel the next generation of nuclear reactors - and plans to build a 10 GW data center - the largest data center in the world and the largest industrial development project every planned for the planet.
