“The answer is we don't have a great long term solution for how we’re doing nuclear waste.”

I did not. Your comment said no nuclear, and I just assumed you had meant at all and not just for datacenters.

Nuclear energy is a net positive.

I have seen enough about it over the years to not need to read this article to know that it is the cheapest and cleanest and has been for a long time. The initial investment and ROI is extremely steep, but once the infrastructure is there, it leads by miles.

Solar and wind are likely catching up, and that's also a great thing, but nuclear energy and it's designs have also improved in that time.

You can link humans fucking shit up all day, but that has to apply to every other source of energy too. There are plenty of negatives when considering wind and solar if you factor in human greed. Take that out of the equation and you've got a clear winner.
