Amazon, Google and Microsoft Are Investing in Nuclear Power

Published On Oct 16, 2024, 3:54 PM

Major technology companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are heavily investing in nuclear power as a reliable, emissions-free energy source to meet the growing electricity demands for their AI and data center operations. Microsoft has plans to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, while Google and Amazon are focusing on developing small modular reactors with different start-ups. This shift towards nuclear energy comes as the companies seek sustainable energy solutions that can provide continuous power, contrasting with the intermittent nature of solar and wind energy.

The push towards nuclear energy by major tech firms may increase investor interest in related technology and infrastructure companies, especially those involved in developing small modular reactors. This trend points to potential growth in the nuclear sector, which has been historically underfunded.

Investors could also pay attention to companies like Kairos Power, which is working on advanced reactor designs, and X-Energy, engaged in small modular reactor development. Increased backing from tech giants may lead to public offerings or corporate expansions in this innovative energy sector.
