Amazon, Google sign pledge to support tripling of nuclear energy capacity by 2050

The Hindu  

Major companies such as Amazon and Google on Wednesday signed a pledge to support the goal of at least tripling the world's nuclear energy capacity by 2050, on the sidelines of the CERAWeek conference in Houston. Nuclear energy, a source of clean power, generates 9% of the world's electricity from 439 power reactors, according to WNA. As of early 2025, the world had only around 411 nuclear power reactors operating, with a combined capacity of 371 gigawatts. Amazon, which says it has spent over $1 billion on nuclear energy projects and technologies, is exploring small modular reactor projects as well.
