AI Ignites a Nuclear Renaissance: How Tech Titans, Policy Shifts and New Reactors Are Powering the Next Energy Revolution

Introduction: From Post‑Fukushima Stagnation to AI‑Fueled Revival A quarter century ago, nuclear energy was in decline. Fear of meltdowns, regulatory hurdles and the ascendancy of cheap natural gas reduced nuclear’s share of world electricity from about 18 % in the 1990s to roughly 9 % today investing.com. The disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima galvanized public opposition and slowed investment, while nations turned to renewables and gas.

Amazon’s All‑New Luna: How Snoop Dogg, Social Games and 50+ Free Titles Redefine Prime Gaming

Rethinking Cloud Gaming – Why Amazon Is Relaunching Luna Amazon launched Luna in 2022 as a competitor to Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now.

Amazon’s $100 Blink Arc Security Cam Glues Two Cameras Together for an Unbeatable 180° View
