Investors may have thought that the technology sector’s wave of excitement and innovation would stop at the semiconductor industry as a support lever for artificial intelligence, but that’s far from the truth.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) have something else in common other than all being part of the NASDAQ 100 index.

However, today’s energy sources won’t be enough to cover this demand, so they’ve looked into nuclear.
