Google, Amazon, Microsoft Turning to Nuclear Power for AI Energy Demands

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the rapid return of nuclear energy, driven by the tech industry’s growing electricity demands. Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are investing in small modular nuclear reactors to power AI server farms, which consume immense amounts of energy. McIntyre notes that these modern reactors can be built and deployed much faster than older models, but face regulatory hurdles before full deployment.
