   That giant sucking sound is the lights going out... Meta's plan to acquire   
   a nuke ran into a problem. There was a program to create bee friendly   
   environments around the disused nuclear plants. It happens the one Meta   
   had their eye own is populated by a rare sort of honeybee.   
      
   Amazon's plan to splice into an operating nuke hit a more prosaic block.   
   Two power companies sharing the plant's output sued claiming Amazon would   
   be the preferred customer and they might get short-changed in a pinch.
