Amazon is joining Google, Microsoft on nuclear power for AI
The tech giant has signed three agreements to support the development of nuclear energy projects, it said Wednesday. The agreements include building several small modular reactors (SMRs). These advanced nuclear reactors have a smaller physical footprint, allowing them to be built closer to the grid, Amazon said. And compared with traditional reactors, SMRs can be put online faster because construction takes less time.

I honestly thought the official ideology was that nuclear power was bad, dangerous and generally not to be done. But now these deals are popping up all over. Makes you wonder.
