Can nuclear power rise up? Big Tech is Betting on it
Nov 24, 2025 · original
December 20, 2024 Newsletter As 2024 comes to an end, nuclear power is poised for a resurgence. This issue traces the beginnings of civilian nuclear power in the USA in the decades following World War II. For twenty years, the USA led the world in developing the blueprint for nuclear power reactors. As former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission James R. Schlesinger once said, “Nuclear reactor development was remarkable, as if aviation history went from Kitty Hawk to a Boeing 747 in a decade and a half.” Most of the country’s nuclear plants were built between 1970 and 1990. After Three Mile Island (1979) and Chernobyl (1986), public opposition, inexpensive natural gas, regulatory uncertainty and soaring construction costs stymied new nuclear power plants for the next 30-plus years. Today Big Tech’s enormous appetite for reliable, carbon-free energy has jump-started nuclear power plan
