The convergence of AI and nuclear energy brings unique risks, especially when AI moves from a passive tool to an autonomous participant.

Nuclear-power enthusiasts are more optimistic about the future of the technology. They think power demand will continue to increase, thanks in part to AI. And once online, new nuclear reactors will be used to displace older fossil-fuel plants, including those built to address nearer-term electricity needs.

As of the close of trading on Nov. 29, shares of Constellation Energy had returned 119% in 2024, making it one of the best-performing stocks in the S&P 500. Of note, Constellation's nuclear energy peer, Vistra, was up 315% year to date, making it the top-performing stock in the S&P 500.

There's no AI revolution without an energy revolution, according to leaders in the AI industry.

Meta Platforms Inc announced plans to seek nuclear energy proposals to power AI innovation and sustainability goals.

The demand for electricity in the USA will increase massively due to artificial intelligence. Meta is looking for project developers for nuclear power plants.

“Supporting the development of clean energy must continue to be a priority as electric grids expand to accommodate growing energy needs,” the company said in a release. “At Meta, we believe nuclear energy will play a pivotal role in the transition to a cleaner, more reliable, and diversified electric grid.”

Meta announced yesterday a request for proposals from nuclear power developers who would help the company add 1 to 4 gigawatts of electricity generating capacity in the U.S. It’s willing to share costs early in the cycle, according to Axios, and it’ll commit to buying power once the reactors are up and running.

The philanthropist has been fighting global disease for 25 years. He believes the world is at a dangerous tipping point.

The area will be the recipient of 300 to 500 full time jobs with an average salary of $82,000 and hundreds of temporary construction jobs.

A.I. data centers are continuing to eat up vast amounts of electricity, especially in states like Virginia, Texas and California.
