In this episode of Next Tech News, we explore the rapidly expanding demand for energy driven by AI technology and its role in prompting companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to invest in small modular reactors (SMRs) for sustainable power solutions. With Three Mile Island potentially reopening to power AI, we discuss the significant shift in attitudes toward nuclear energy. Paul Benson and Erick Rodriguez delve into the efficiency and safety of SMRs, which are designed to cool passively without human intervention. We also cover the discovery of a massive lithium deposit in the southeastern U.S. using AI, which could reduce the reliance on imported lithium for battery production.
