Meta Embraces Nuclear Power for Future Data Centers

Meta is seeking nuclear power developers to build 1 to 4 gigawatts of electricity capacity in the U.S. to support its data centers, after an initial plan was halted due to environmental concerns. The company is open to flexible locations and aims for the plants to be operational by the early 2030s. This move aligns with a broader tech industry trend towards nuclear energy, despite challenges in cost and construction timelines. Meta's initiative reflects a strategic shift similar to its past support for renewable energy.
