> **Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google** are investing in nuclear energy to power AI data centers. As AI drives new energy investments, lawmakers are weighing the pros and cons of nuclear energy while debating budget **cuts** for U.S. energy research and innovation.
> While tech companies invest in nuclear energy, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) voiced concerns that the U.S. isn’t making the same investments to support the power needs of growing AI infrastructure. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in May to reinvigorate nuclear energy production. The administration has supported private sector investment while the U.S. assesses where to remove regulatory hurdles.
> Lofgren noted that the Trump administration’s proposed FY 2026 budget request includes a 21% cut to the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy and a 51% funding cut to its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, as well as cuts to the DOE’s loan guarantee program for nuclear investment.
> Pat Schweiger, CTO at advanced nuclear technology company Oklo, said energy is the „foundation upon which America’s **AI** future depends.“ The U.S. needs to consider a few policy changes to accelerate advanced nuclear deployment, including continued investment in next-generation research, he said.
