Why is nuclear energy decreasing?
Although output has been rising from renewable energy sources and from turbine plants using natural gas, the U.S. nuclear fleet continues to operate at high and consistent utilization rates. Financial pressures from competitive wholesale power markets remain the primary cause of nuclear power plant retirements - https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=51978
is actually decreasing but somehow there is actually an article that have said Is nuclear energy making a comeback?

“Nuclear power is making a comeback,” Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, announced last year. In the final days of 2022, a cold front across the central and eastern U.S. reminded many Americans of the need for reliable nuclear power - https://www.city-journal.org/can-nuclear-power-make-a-comeback

As per the this article from Bitcoin Magazine, I've learned that Terawulf launched a nuclear powered mining operation.
0.02 usd per kw/h with a 5 years stability (regarding the price)
Only 1.9 Eh/s for now, but I think that we will see more and more nuclear powered mining farms in the near future.
What could be the disadvantages ? Ecological, cheap and stable power is litteraly the ultimate dream for mining farm's owners.

“The Nautilus nuclear-powered mining facility benefits from what is arguably the lowest cost power in the sector, just $0.02/kWh for a term of five years,” Prager commented.
