Top technology companies are increasingly turning to hydrogen and nuclear energy to power their artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, as the demand for electricity is expected to double by the end of the decade due to the AI boom. The situation presents challenges for utilities and regulators, who must navigate the costs associated with climate change and consumer demands. Fluidstack, an AI cloud computing startup, is raising $200 million to expand its operations, with plans to build a €10 billion AI data center in France, primarily powered by nuclear energy, by 2026. This development is part of a broader exploration by Canary Media into the implications of the AI and data center boom, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the location and power requirements of future data centers.
