Brian Gitt writes in RealClearEnergy about the benefits of nuclear power and small modular reactors.
- Internet and tech companies are investing billions of dollars to build new data centers, which are becoming essential components to civilization.
- Powering these centers requires vast amounts of energy, which nuclear power is in a unique position to provide.
- Nuclear power is our most reliable energy source by far, providing clean power 24/7 to the grid.
“SMRs promise data centers what they’re looking for: a reliable, low-cost, carbon-free energy source that yields round-the-clock uptime. Data centers of all sorts (hyperscale, colocation, or telecom) can use SMRs to secure the energy independence they need to overcome bottlenecks in the grid and to avoid competition for energy with local communities.”
