Why? Is it just to fuck up the planet with all the energy waste? What would be a logical explanation for this?
Defrauding investors.
In 2024, in the eyes of Microsoft, they saw a demand for A.I. (from who or where, is another rabbit hole). And Microsoft bought a 20 year nuclear power contract. So 20-30 years from today that spent nuclear fuel is fuck that humans will have for infinity; instead of 100% of that nuclear power to have used for any other purpose (cities, battery charging, hospitals, food production, etc)... absolutely anything other than A.I.
Yup, so your answer is in the bottom of that rabbit hole, and it isn't a logical one.
