#Meta is seeking proposals from developers to supply 1 to 4 gigawatts of nuclear power for its data centers, beginning in the early 2030s.  This is driven by the increasing energy demands of its AI initiatives.

This move aligns with similar efforts by other tech giants like #Amazon (#AMZN), #Alphabet (#GOOG), and #Microsoft (#MSFT) to secure reliable and clean energy sources for their operations.

Meta is open to both traditional large reactors and smaller modular reactor designs, though the latter are still untested.

#Nuclearpower offers a continuous, #CleanEnergy  source, but its high cost and lengthy construction timelines have deterred utility companies from investing.  Tech companies, with their significant resources, may be able to push development forward.

While there is currently minimal nuclear construction in the US, experts believe Meta's 2030s target is achievable if projects begin soon.
