Small Nuclear Reactors + Data Centers

 The future of data centers and small nuclear reactors as described by Bill Gates, “There is a more direct connection, though, which is that the additional data centers that we’ll be building look like they’ll be as much as a 10% additional load for electricity. The U.S. hasn’t needed much new electricity — but with the rise in a variety of things from electric cars and buses to electric heat pumps to heating homes, demand for electricity is going to go up a lot. And now these data centers are adding to that. So the big tech companies are out looking at how they can help facilitate more power, so that these data centers can serve the exploding AI demand.”
