US restores closed nuclear plants
The United States is undertaking an unprecedented effort to restart three shut-down nuclear power plants to meet rising energy demands, including from large data centers. The Department of Energy is providing up to $4.4 billion in loans to restore these facilities, which previously closed due to economic factors. This initiative aims to quickly generate significant zero-carbon electricity, leveraging existing assets, and includes contracts with major tech companies to supply power for data centers. Safety concerns are debated, with critics cautioning about risks associated with aging infrastructure, but officials emphasize the importance of nuclear energy in maintaining energy security.
