Tom Steyer on nuclear power’s role in climate tech investing

AI hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT) are investing in nuclear energy as a clean source to power massive data centers. Yahoo Finance’s Madison Mills speaks with Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, at Yahoo Finance Invest about the rise of nuclear energy investing. Steyer expresses some cautious optimism about the outlook for the sector. “There’s a lot of optimism in that industry that in fact, over the next decade, we’ll see the commercial sale of fusion nuclear power. If that’s true, at a respectable price, that’s a game changer,” he tells Yahoo Finance.
