Big Tech turns to nuclear energy to power AI boom 

Major technology companies are increasingly turning to nuclear energy as they attempt to keep up with the vast energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI) without derailing their highly publicized environmental goals. 

Google announced Monday that it had inked a deal with Kairos Power to purchase nuclear energy from a fleet of small modular reactors, a kind of advanced nuclear reactor yet to be seen in the U.S. 

The tech giant was not shy about the driver behind the deal.
