I think it's fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. โ๐ป
Um... you realize that nuclear doesn't give of any pollutants?
It does emit heat. If using a flowing water source like a river for cooling, it does raise the temperature of the water a measurable amount, which must be accounted for in an environmental impact analysis.
But that's still leagues better than burning fossil fuels.
