AMAZON VIES FOR NUCLEAR-POWERED DATA CENTER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Proposals for co-locating data centers next to nuclear power have popped up in several places. The setup allows for data centers to draw clean electricity directly rather than from the grid while avoiding paying fees that would otherwise help maintain grids. It also means that data centers are hogging hundreds of megawatts that could be going to other customers. Amazon is currently dealing with regulatory hurdles over a deal that would give one of its data centers an extra 180 megawatts of power as it would hurt all of the customers that buy from the facility.
