One of the world's largest tech giants just locked in deals with three nuclear energy providers that could supply over 6 gigawatts of power. The partnerships span established nuclear operator Vistra, next-generation reactor company OKLO, and advanced reactor innovator TerraPower.

Here's what caught attention: this move signals how seriously major tech firms are taking their energy footprint. Data centers—whether for AI training, blockchain infrastructure, or traditional cloud services—are power-hungry beasts. The industry's been under pressure to find clean baseload power that doesn't rely on fossil fuels.

Nuclear's appeal is straightforward. It runs 24/7, generates massive capacity reliably, and produces zero carbon emissions during operation. For compute-intensive operations, that's a game-changer compared to solar or wind variability.

What's interesting for the Web3 space: this trend reflects broader industry thinking about sustainable infrastructure. Whether it's data centers, exchanges, or blockchain validation operations, the conversation around reliable, renewable power is becoming mainstream. These kinds of deals normalize nuclear as part of the energy solution conversation—a shift we're seeing echo through tech and energy communities.
