Google announced a record €13bn investment in Finland to build three new data centres, expand its existing Hamina facility, and support energy infrastructure for AI growth. As part of the deal, Google signed a 22-year agreement with Fortum to purchase up to half the electricity output from the Loviisa nuclear plant.
A former controls designer who built a fully automated U.S. nuclear plant system recalls deliberately preserving manual steps so operators wouldn't lose hands-on competence. He now applies that lesson to AI's spread through engineering, citing Harvard and Stanford research showing junior-level employment shrinking in AI-adopting firms while senior roles keep growing.
Ron Fowler, now 77 and hospitalized with cancer and blood clots, and his 83-year-old friend Chuck Deuschle spent years working at a Kentucky uranium-enrichment plant central to the U.S. nuclear weapons program. They later exposed how the facility and its operators hid dangerous levels of radiation and toxic chemical exposure from workers and nearby residents for decades, choosing to stay on the job and speak out rather than quit.
