AI Wave Causes Nuclear Reaction From Big Tech

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore how Big Tech players like Google, Microsoft and Amazon are turning to nuclear power generation for their data centres.


    The rise of AI, in particular the power-hungry generative AI technologies, is driving a demand for more and more energy, producing increasing emissions. In fact, data centres are already responsible for around 3% of global emissions.


    We dig into the companies' decisions to invest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). We also hear about Microsoft's plan to restart generation at Three Mile Island nuclear plant.
