Meta Takes a Charge with Nuclear Power for AI

Meta is venturing into nuclear energy, aiming to add 1-4 gigawatts of U.S. nuclear capacity by the early 2030s to power its AI-driven data centers. Joining tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, Meta has issued an RFP to partner with nuclear developers, likely focusing on small modular reactors. While this aligns with Meta’s 100% clean energy goals, challenges such as high costs, regulatory hurdles, and waste management remain. Will Meta’s nuclear leap light up its AI ambitions?
