Tech giants are abandoning unreliable wind and solar energy in favor of nuclear power as demand for electricity skyrockets due to artificial intelligence advancements. The strategic shift represents a major win for Trump’s energy policies and signals a potential revival of America’s energy independence.
At a glance:
• Amazon, Google, and Meta have pledged to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050
• Microsoft is partnering with Constellation Energy to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
• Trump proposed enhancing Ukraine’s energy grid with US nuclear expertise
• AI and data centers are projected to consume 3-4% of global electricity by 2030
• Enron is making a controversial comeback focused on nuclear power under new CEO Connor Gaydos
Big Tech Embraces Nuclear Power
In a massive validation of President Trump’s energy policies, tech giants are rapidly abandoning so-called “clean energy” sources like wind and solar that have consistently proved unreliable. Instead, they’re turning to nuclear power to meet the exponentially growing energy demands of artificial intelligence and data centers.
Microsoft made headlines by partnering with Constellation Energy to restart the historic Three Mile Island nuclear plant, which had been shuttered following years of environmental protests. This move reveals that even liberal tech companies have become desperate for reliable power sources that can meet their massive energy needs.
Amazon, Google, Meta, and even Apple have joined this nuclear revolution, with Apple recently redefining “clean energy” to include nuclear power. These companies have signed the “Large Energy Users Pledge” committing to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050 – the first time major non-energy corporations have publicly backed such extensive nuclear expansion.
Trump’s Nuclear Vision for America and Ukraine
President Trump has been ahead of the curve, proposing a bold plan to enhance Ukraine’s energy grid with American nuclear expertise. This approach would reduce Ukraine’s dependence on unstable energy sources while creating jobs and opportunities for American companies.
The United States currently has 54 commercial nuclear plants, though many have been shut down due to environmental protests from liberal activist groups. Trump’s America First energy policies recognize the critical need to reverse this trend as AI’s growing electricity demands are projected to increase dramatically in coming years.
Data center power demand is projected to increase by a staggering 160% by 2030, potentially consuming 3-4% of global electricity by the end of the decade. Only nuclear power can reliably meet these demands while maintaining the left’s desired carbon reduction goals.
Controversial Comeback: Enron Rises from the Ashes
In a development that has raised eyebrows across the energy sector, Enron is making a comeback under new CEO Connor Gaydos with a focus on nuclear power. The company, infamous for its accounting fraud scandal in the early 2000s, has already filed to provide energy in Texas with plans to expand throughout northern America.
Amazon has invested over $1 billion in nuclear projects, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Washington state, while Google works to accelerate the commercialization of advanced nuclear technologies. Meta has gone further by seeking proposals to add up to four gigawatts of new nuclear capacity in the U.S. by the early 2030s.
The expansion of nuclear energy offers tremendous economic and environmental benefits, providing the stable and reliable power source that is crucial for America’s technological future.
