How Big Tech embraced nuclear power

Microsoft is partnering with Constellation Energy to restart a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island to power its expanding data centers. This move comes as data center energy demand is expected to grow significantly by 2030, with hyperscale centers operated by tech giants consuming 60-70% of all data center energy. Tech companies are turning to nuclear power to meet their growing energy needs while trying to reduce carbon emissions. However, nuclear power faces challenges including public perception and competition from increasingly cost-effective renewable energy sources.
