AI data centers need power that never goes off. Solar and wind can’t guarantee that. Nuclear, natural gas, and hydro can. One AI query uses 10x the electricity of a Google search. At billions of queries a day, the grid math stops working for intermittent renewables without battery storage at a scale we don’t have yet. The result is a capital rotation that most people haven’t fully priced in yet. Nuclear plants are bypassing the grid entirely and selling power directly to hyperscalers. Photonics companies are being re-rated as energy efficiency plays. FERC is fast-tracking reliability-first grid connections.
