Microsoft's 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy to re-open Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear plant signifies a pivotal shift towards energy independence for tech firms and a potential renaissance in nuclear energy.
The deal marks a significant commitment by Microsoft to secure new energy sources for its data centers, aligning with broader industry goals for sustainable and reliable energy.
Constellation plans to invest $1.6 billion in revitalizing the plant, utilizing federal subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act to fund improvements and ensure safety.
Despite past disasters, nuclear energy remains a low-death energy source relative to others, illustrating the need for a renewed perspective on its role in clean energy.
