Energía nuclear
Google is making significant investments in nuclear energy to support its growing artificial intelligence (AI) operations, partnering with Kairos Power and Elementl Power for the development of small modular reactors (SMRs). However, the company's plans face scrutiny due to unclear reactor designs, potential regulatory delays, and rising emissions linked to AI data centers. Despite claims of using 90% renewable energy, critics argue that fossil fuels are still relied upon during peak demand periods. The challenges of deploying SMRs include high costs, local opposition, and unresolved safety concerns. As AI's energy consumption continues to surge, Google's nuclear strategy raises questions about the feasibility of meeting climate goals without scalable clean energy solutions.
