Given energy hungry AI and regulations over nuclear power, will a tech giant (market cap >= $100B) succeed in building a private nuclear power plant (100+ MW) for its own consumption or a commercial power plant to provide energy just for AI needs?

The nuclear power plant must be a newly constructed reactor with major part of the infrastructure investment coming from the tech giant. Renewal of existing facilities like the TMI plant in PA don’t count.

Does the three miles renewal count here or does it need to be a new reactor?

@Philip3773733 The nuclear power plant must be a newly constructed reactor with the infrastructure investment majorly coming from the tech giant. I’ll update the description with this detail. Thanks!
