Google Considers Nuclear Power for AI Data Centers

Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) CEO Sundar Pichai has hinted at the possibility of using nuclear energy to power the company’s AI data centers. In a recent interview with Nikkei Asia, Pichai discussed Google’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions across all operations by 2030, while acknowledging the increased energy demands brought on by AI investments.

To meet these challenges, Google is exploring various clean energy alternatives, including solar power and small modular nuclear reactors. This interest in nuclear energy isn’t new for the tech giant, in September 2023, Google wrote a paper on its intention to invest significantly in clean energy technologies such as geothermal power and hydrogen.
