Global energy instability is driving a shift toward carbon-free power to ensure energy security. The International Energy Agency notes that unlike previous oil shocks, current technical foundations in renewables and nuclear energy allow for a faster reduction in fossil fuel reliance. Industry giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are increasingly investing in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet the massive power demands of AI data centers. This trend highlights the critical role of stable, low-emission baseload power in maintaining industrial competitiveness and achieving carbon neutrality.
