Small Nuclear Reactors To Solve AI Energy Crisis
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses the energy demands of AI server centers, projected to match Japan’s total energy consumption next year. With current U.S. energy sources unable to keep up, options like fossil fuels and renewables fall short. A promising alternative is small nuclear reactors, which are safer and more efficient than traditional plants. These reactors are in testing and, if proven effective, could offer a much-needed solution to the AI energy crisis.
