Bloombergcommented on the comback of nuclear power mainly because of the power demands of artificial intelligence:
Nuclear power has long been on the decline, its share of the world’s electricity generation halving from 18% in the mid-1990s to 9% today. Now there are signs of a revival.
While China, India and Russia never stopped expanding their nuclear industries, many Western countries moved the other way due to the technology’s heavy construction costs and an abundance of cheaper alternatives.
More recently, concern about global warming and the security of energy supplies amid Russia’s war in Ukraine has sparked renewed interest in the energy released by splitting atoms.
