• In a new op-ed, Amentum’s Mark Whitney argues that the rapid rise of AI is outpacing the power grid and that nuclear energy must become a national priority to keep up with demand. With data center electricity use expected to more than double by 2030, reliable, around-the-clock nuclear power will be critical to supporting AI growth and maintaining U.S. technological leadership.

• Whitney points to a growing list of tech companies already securing nuclear power deals and warns that slow permitting and regulatory timelines could hold the U.S. back as global competition intensifies. His message is straightforward: in the AI era, electricity is no longer just infrastructure; it is a strategic asset.
