In an exclusive interview, the CEO explained the upsides and downsides of Big Tech investments in nuclear power.

Amazon and Google are investing in small modular reactors to power their AI operations and reduce carbon emissions. The tech giants aim to leverage nuclear energy as a reliable, carbon-free power source to meet the growing energy demands of AI technologies.

Microsoft, Amazon and Google have all struck deals this year with developers of atomic power, which they argue can provide the reliable 24-hour low-carbon energy to power their data centres — and keep their valuations soaring on the strength of their AI ambitions.

That’s the message from Westinghouse Electric Co., the Cranberry Township-based firm that last year became the first company to design and build a new domestic nuclear reactor — actually two right next to each other – in more than 30 years with its AP1000 reactors at Plant Vogtle in Georgia.

Nuclear energy could be the long-term solution for the energy demands of AI. In the short-term, though, AI companies may turn to oil and gas.
