Meta's plan to build a nuclear-powered datacenter for AI workloads has been canceled due to the discovery of a rare species of bees at the prospective site.
Environmental and regulatory hurdles thwarted Meta's efforts to secure a deal for emissions-free electricity from a nuclear power plant for their new AI datacenter.
The Electric Power Research Institute launched an initiative to encourage energy companies to preserve pollinator habitats, highlighting the importance of bees in agriculture and food production.
AI workloads require immense energy, leading US-based hyperscalers like Meta to explore nuclear power, only to face unexpected environmental challenges.
