Google LLC has partnered with Kairos Power to pioneer a transformative approach to clean energy, aiming to power its AI-driven data centers using advanced small modular nuclear reactors by 2030. This initiative has stirred excitement among the influencers on social media platform “X,” reflecting a blend of enthusiasm and curiosity about the future of nuclear energy as a mainstream power source, according to the Social Media Analytics Platform of GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Smitarani Tripathy, Social Media Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Influencers are intrigued by Google’s strategic move towards nuclear power to meet its sustainability goals. The announcement has sparked a broader conversation on renewable energy’s role in powering large-scale AI infrastructures. Many see this as a pivotal moment for the energy sector and a potential catalyst for broader nuclear energy acceptance. This partnership may set a precedent for future tech-industry initiatives aiming to integrate cleaner and more efficient energy solutions.”
Below are a few popular influencer opinions captured by GlobalData’s Social Media Analytics Platform:
” Google wants to address data center power demands with nuclear power. Google has signed a new deal with Kairos Power to use small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) to power its energy-hungry artificial intelligence (AI) data centers as the world begins to confront the consequences of widespread AI adoption and a grid that’s struggling to keep up. The partnership will be the first corporate agreement involving the purchase of nuclear energy from multiple SMRs, and is set to begin operation by the end of the decade.”
” GOOGLE GOES NUCLEAR Google signed an agreement with Kairos Power to construct a series of small modular reactors This is part of wider effort by tech firms to secure low-carbon power to feed a buildout of data centers in the next decade.”
” The Google deal to acquire small nuclear reactors to power data centers increases the odds that we will see AI models scale through at least 3 more generations/orders of magnitude (post GPT-5) to 2030. According to Epoch, power was the binding constraint.”
- John Quakes, Retired Earth Science Researcher:
” Google’s power purchase deal will boost development & deployment of a 500MW fleet of Kairos Power’s #Nuclear #SMR’s that use 19.75% enriched High-Assay Low-Enriched #Uranium (HALEU) fuel in TRISO pebbles with cooling provided using salt instead of water.”
“Wow, Google is going nuclear to power its data centres.’Mini reactors’ by 2030.Such is the pressure on the grid and rising opposition to planning applications. Wonder whether this will trigger a return to nuclear in a mainstream way? (US first.).”
