🚨 META JUST BET BIG ON NUCLEAR FOR AI
Meta struck a deal with Oklo to secure prepayments for up to 1.2 GW of nuclear power by 2030 at a new Ohio campus — a direct response to surging AI data‑center energy demand that the IEA projects could hit 35 GW globally by 2030.
This isn’t small‑scale: Oklo’s advanced small modular reactors — backed by Sam Altman — get their first major corporate off‑take validation, potentially speeding regulatory approvals amid U.S. nuclear capacity shortfalls forecasted near 100 GW by 2040 (EIA data).
Part of Meta’s broader pivot with Vistra and TerraPower toward reliable, low‑carbon baseload power over intermittent renewables.
Repost if the future of AI infrastructure just got nuclear.
