Big Tech is pouring roughly $80 billion into small modular nuclear reactors to power the next wave of AI data centers.
Companies like Microsoft and Amazon are signing deals to restart old plants and build new compact reactors because solar and wind alone cannot match the constant load these facilities demand.
In Wyoming, residents have already taken legal action, claiming the projects pose unacceptable risks to their communities and environment.
The push shows how quickly the energy conversation has shifted from “100% renewable” to “whatever keeps the servers cool and the models training.”
It raises a real question about who gets to decide where the power comes from when the stakes are this high.
