Tech giants across the US are turning to nuclear power plants to ensure stable electricity supply for new data centers catering to the booming demand for artificial intelligence (AI). Companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) are striking deals with nuclear plant operators like Constellation Energy to directly source power, prioritizing stable supply over increasing green energy sources or reducing carbon emissions. Despite concerns about cost, reliability, and environmental impact, the fusion of AI and nuclear power is expected to reshape economic development, grid reliability, costs, and climate change goals in states like Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
