Big Tech is going nuclear as the next phase of the global takeover of commerce and life itself with artificial intelligence (AI).

First it was Google that announced a special deal with Kairos Power to build small modular nuclear reactors to power its data centers, and now Amazon is doing the same thing to power Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Amazon says it is investing more than $500 million to develop small modular nuclear reactors in Virginia, Washington state and elsewhere in partnership with Dominion Energy. SMRs, as these nuclear reactors are also called, produce no carbon emissions (or so we are told) and can be built quickly, which means more cashflow for the corporate giant.

Right now, nearly half of all U.S. data centers are located in Virginia – the part closest to Washington, D.C. Loudoun County is considered to be “Data Center Alley” as it handles 70 percent of the world’s internet traffic every single day.

Dominion Energy provides 3,500 megawatts to 452 data centers across Virginia, most of them in Data Center Alley. Each data center consumes about 30 megawatts or more of power, and Dominion says it is now receiving requests for up to 90 megawatts of power per data center.

With demand expected to grow by about 85 percent in the next 15 years, Amazon’s AWS project is expected to add at least 300 megawatts of power to the entire region, which means more data centers and more AI are coming down the pike.

“We see the need for gigawatts of power in the coming years, and there’s not going to be enough wind and solar projects to be able to meet the needs, and so nuclear is a great opportunity,” commented Matthew Garman, CEO of AWS.

“Also, the technology is really advancing to a place with SMRs where there’s going to be a new technology that’s going to be safe and that’s going to be easy to manufacture in a much smaller form. These SMRs will be powering directly into the grid, so they’ll go to power everything, part of that is the data centers, but everything that is plugged into the grid will benefit.”

A nuclear, AI future

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is really excited about what Amazon is doing by building SMRs all over the state – SMRs that will, of course, generate a lot of cash for big industry and the political establishment that keeps it ever growing.

“Small modular nuclear reactors will play a critical role in positioning Virginia as a leading nuclear innovation hub,” Youngkin said in a statement.

“Amazon Web Services’ commitment to this technology and their partnership with Dominion is a significant step forward to meet the future power needs of a growing Virginia.”

There is simply not enough energy being generated through other means, especially with the global push to go “green.” Wind and solar do not cut it, not to mention the vast amounts of land these two “clean” technologies consume while providing unstable energy flow.

Google and Amazon know that “green” won’t keep their businesses afloat, so they are pushing to expand the nation’s nuclear energy footprint to keep their operations forging forward at reckless full speed into an abyss of the unknown where AI are basically in charge of everything.

“Funny how the ‘greens’ have turned to RADIOACTIVE in their desperation for tyrannical control, isn’t it?” one commenter wrote. “It was never about the environment. It is all about money through power and control.”

“Repeal the Price-Anderson Act and let the billionaires cover accident liability,” wrote another. “Otherwise this is ******* and do NOT let me hear any ‘private sector’ preening. Nuclear is fundamentally socialist technology. Without .gov for security and taxpayer liability, it’s gone.”
