Amazon, Google and Meta are just some of the heavyweights to call for more nuclear power production. On the sidelines of a recent conference, the tech giants signed a pledge to support the tripling of global nuclear power by 2050. The declaration follows a similar announcement made by major banks last September — as well as by politicians at COP28.
A total of 31 countries have now signed the pledge to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050, along with 140 nuclear industry companies. According to the World Nuclear Association (WNA), around 9% of the world's electricity now comes from nuclear energy, harnessed by 440 power reactors.
