Tech Giants Power Up with Nuclear Revival

In a shocking turn away from solar panels and wind turbines, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are embracing nuclear power to fuel their AI-hungry data centers. Microsoft plans to resurrect the Three Mile Island reactor as the Crane Clean Energy Center by 2028, supplying 835 MW of carbon-free energy. Meanwhile, Google and Amazon are betting big on small modular reactors (SMRs), aiming for deployment by 2030. As AI’s energy appetite soars from 3% to a projected 9% of US power by 2030, these tech titans are literally lighting the way.
