The Power Paradox: SMRs and Data Centers
This chapter examines the crucial role of small modular reactors (SMRs) in meeting the electricity demands of data centers operated by tech giants. It contrasts the limitations of renewable energy sources with the potential of nuclear energy to provide stable, carbon-free electricity. The discussion also highlights the challenges utilities face in integrating SMRs and addresses the financial implications of connecting data centers to the grid.
