Big Tech is bankrolling the clean energy transition — while emitting more than ever

Big Tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft are investing heavily in innovative clean energy projects, including nuclear fusion and small modular reactors, in the Pacific Northwest to power their expanding data center operations. Simultaneously, their global carbon emissions are increasing due to the broader data center buildout across the US, often necessitating reliance on new fossil fuel generation. This energy demand is causing grid strain, competition with traditional utilities, and sparking opposition from environmental groups and local tribes concerned about climate commitments and project impacts.

These investments provide crucial funding and revenue certainty for nuclear projects, addressing challenges like financing constraints and first-of-its-kind risks.
