Nuclear energy’s MAGA comeback in the AI era

Nuclear power became a hot topic this week as President Trump floated a plan to make Ukraine’s energy grid great again by bringing in US “electricity and utility expertise” to take over its plants.

Meanwhile, back at home, as artificial intelligence gobbles up ever more energy, the must-have accessory for major tech companies has become a nuclear power plant (it’s also behind the resurgence of Enron, but more on that later).

Once all the rage for companies pushing an ESG-agenda, so-called “clean energy” like woke windmills and solar panels are being scrapped en masse as big tech finally admits they are unreliable and can’t provide anywhere near enough power.

Microsoft has partnered with Constellation Energy to restart the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear plant – yes, site of a meltdown in 1979, but they’re taking over the site’s other reactor, decommissioned in 2019.

Meanwhile, Amazon, Google, and Meta are also investing in nuclear energy and Apple quietly updated its definition of “clean energy” to include nuclear power last year, broadening its perspective beyond underwhelming solar, wind, and hydroelectric sources.
