This power plant is specced to produce 7.65GW. The Alvin W. Vogtle plant in Georgia, the largest nuclear plant in the US, generates only 4.5GW.

Booooo! ha ha this is information I didn’t know I needed and still don’t. It’s like hearing about a hotel down the street holding a concrete canoe contest: entertaining but get off my lawn.

That Fox article on the contest is offhanded, indifferent coverage by the way. Food and Wine at least names the winners here: https://www.foodandwine.com/superior-taste-awards-2026-best-coffees-12013893 and mentions two alternative contests run by competing marketing organizations, which is, after all, all this is. (The source website for this one, https://www.taste-institute.com/ is a members-only popup swamp, I wouldn’t bother.) Anyway I can rest more easily now that I know about contest conquering concrete canoe coffee.

They’ve brewed something (very slowly) that compares well to room temperature espresso? That’s dandy and all, but I wonder how it compares to a proper espresso, after spending additional energy to heat it.
