  • There are actual micronuclear reactors though, which is why I was initially hopeful lol:

    Other names to google: NuScale VOYGR™ Micro (77MW scalable), Oklo Aurora (1.5MW), Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) (5MW thermal, 1.5MW electric), Rolls-Royce SMR (470 MW), HolosGen HolosQuad (3-13 MW), X-energy Xe-100 (80 MW)

  • I was skeptical at first, but given that it’s such a well known energy company, I’m sure this will be a great product!

    “This product is gonna revolutionize three critical industries. The power industry, the independence industry, and the freedom industry. This product is gonna revolutionize all three,” Enron CEO Connor Gaydos claimed in a video presentation announcing the egg.

    Gaydos is also the co-founder of the satirical “Birds Aren't Real” movement, which asserts that all real birds existing in the U.S. had been forcibly made extinct and were replaced by the government with surveillance drones that look like birds.

  • The Birds Aren't Real guy securing the Enron domain and social handles is chef's kiss.

  • Shame <marquee> is deprecated. That's the best use I've ever seen.

  • Already pre-ordered a dozen

  • The Egg may be fake, but the merch is real. [1]

  • The Enron Egg is a compact nuclear reactor that uses Uranium-Zirconium Hydride (U-ZrH) fuel rods to generate heat through nuclear fission. This heat is transferred via a 3D-printed Inconel heat exchanger, powering a turbine to generate electricity. A closed-loop cooling system ensures safe operation without environmental contamination.

  • Are you sure this is not a joke?

  • I really thought it’s real. I should really ask more questions. It will be cool product one day. Power companies will never let something like this come out.

  • 118$ for a sweatshirt. Guess those rights were expensive.

  • Bah, useless fission, wake me when the Mr. Fusion comes out.

  • Not great, not terrible

  • Umm..... Enron??
