Bill Gates is betting big on nuclear energy with TerraPower, pouring over a billion dollars into a groundbreaking sodium-cooled reactor in Wyoming — the first of its kind to get a commercial permit in the U.S. As AI surges and data centers gobble up clean power, this new breed of small modular reactors (SMRs) promises scalable, carbon-free energy right where it’s needed. Companies like Oklo and NuScale are also racing to deploy SMRs for industrial and tech use, with Meta already signing on — but all are still pre-revenue, facing regulatory delays, and trading at speculative valuations. While TerraPower isn’t publicly traded, investing in these SMR pioneers means betting on a long-term nuclear renaissance powered by AI’s hunger for electricity — a high-risk, high-reward play for the future grid.
