    People are dumping billions of dollars into it, mostly power, but it cannot turn profit.

    So the companies who, for example, revived a nuclear power facility in order to feed their machine with ever diminishing returns of quality output are going to shut everything down at massive losses and countless hours of human work and lifespan thrown down the drain.
