The article explores the substantial investments made by tech giants such as $Microsoft(MSFT)$, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ (the parent company of Google), Amazon, and Meta in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, as well as the impact of this trend on the demand for energy in data centers. The burgeoning development of artificial intelligence has driven a surge in demand for data center capacity to handle AI workloads and store the vast amount of data required. Data centers are energy-intensive, and AI applications consume more energy than traditional computing. Driven by sustainability goals, many tech giants have committed to powering their data centers with renewable energy. They are increasingly exploring nuclear energy to meet their power needs. Governments worldwide also recognize nuclear energy as a key option for achieving net-zero emissions goals. $Uranium(UEC)$ is primarily used in nuclear power plants and is one of the most carbon-free forms of electricity generation. However, nuclear energy currently accounts for only around 10% of global electricity generation, with this proportion being approximately 20% in developed countries like the $United(UBCP)$ States. Despite the growing demand for uranium, the supply faces numerous challenges, and expanding uranium supply takes a long time. President Biden signed a bill yesterday banning the import of Russian enriched uranium, including some exemptions that allow imports until 2028 if alternative sources are not found. The bill allocates approximately $2.7 billion to increase domestic uranium supply.
