## Resource

The explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence is driving a global resurgence in Nuclear Energy as major technology companies search for stable, carbon-free power sources for massive data centers. Corporations are investing billions into restarting old reactors and developing advanced Small Modular Reactors, viewing nuclear power as a reliable alternative to intermittent renewable energy systems. While the movement could accelerate climate goals and support the future expansion of AI infrastructure, it also faces major challenges involving cost, regulation, and long-standing public concerns over nuclear safety. This episode includes AI-generated content.
