Google backs Elementl Power to build advanced nuclear sites across America

Google is continuing its support of nuclear energy. Following an agreement with Kairos Power last year, the search giant just signed a new deal with Elementl Power to fund the early development of three advanced nuclear energy sites in the United States. The company is technology-agnostic and describes itself as an independent power producer aiming to bring new nuclear capacity online by 2035. “Innovative partnerships like this are necessary to mobilize the capital required to build new nuclear projects,” said Chris Colbert, Elementl’s CEO. Either way, Google’s backing shows that nuclear is back on the table -- whether we like it or not.
