Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt talks about AI & Nuclear Power.
Big Tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are signing 20-year nuclear contracts with companies like Constellation Energy. But here's the shocking reality: the AI revolution in the United States needs 92 gigawatts of additional power—that's equivalent to 92 big nuclear power stations.
The problem? Essentially none are being started. Private companies are taking over what used to be utility functions, betting they'll still be around for the 20 years it takes to actually build these nuclear plants. Meanwhile, AI's massive energy demands continue growing exponentially.
