Reviving Nuclear Energy: A throwback source of Clean Power in the Age of AI

Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the complexities surrounding nuclear energy, particularly in light of its potential to meet the rising electricity demands from the AI sector. Microsoft’s efforts to restart the Three Mile Island plant and the investments from Amazon and Google in small modular reactors (SMRs) underscore the tech industry’s commitment to nuclear energy despite its controversies and untested nature in the U.S. They note that Donald Trump is likely to support nuclear energy alongside solar and wind initiatives, framing these actions as essential for energy security.
