Tech Companies: Is a 'nuclear war' going to break out between Google, Microsoft and Facebook? This is the plan..

If we talk about the world's biggest tech companies, the names of Google, Microsoft, and Meta immediately come to mind. These three companies work on many types of tech products and services. These three companies also compete fiercely with each other in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector. But here we are talking about 'nuclear war'. It is not that these three companies are going to wage a nuclear war, but all three are eyeing to acquire nuclear power.

Google, Microsoft, and Facebook's parent Meta, which use technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, their electricity consumption has increased a lot. Millions of kilowatts of electricity are needed to run the data centers and AI systems of these companies.

These companies are now considering investing in nuclear power. This raises the question of whether a new competition is starting between companies for 'nuclear war' i.e. nuclear power.

Why is the need for electricity increasing?

Nowadays, the data centers being built for AI and cloud services have become so big that their electricity cost can be as much as a big city. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are demanding thousands of gigawatts of electricity for their services.

If these companies adopt old methods to meet their electricity needs, it will not be right for both the environment and their business. Therefore, these companies are now looking towards nuclear power.

Importance of nuclear power

Now these companies understand that nuclear power can be a solution that can give them stable and uninterrupted electricity. It is carbon-free electricity, which means that it does not harm the environment.

According to media reports, Google's Senior Director of Energy and Climate Michael Terrell says that one of the features of nuclear power is that it is always on and provides continuous electricity, which is perfect for our needs.

Why are companies investing in nuclear power?

Big companies like Google, Meta (Facebook), and Microsoft need a huge amount of electricity to run their AI systems and data centers, which can only be obtained from nuclear power. These companies believe that nuclear power can be a better, cheaper, and stable way to meet their increasing electricity needs.

Is nuclear power making a comeback?

In the last few decades, nuclear power has been ignored due to safety risks and fear of nuclear accidents. But now it is being discussed again, and it is being called 'nuclear revival'. Technology companies believe that nuclear can be the future of electricity, especially when we have to deal with dangerous climate change and power crisis.
