Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has inked three nuclear power deals with TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra to fuel its growing artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The agreements aim to provide clean energy for Meta's Prometheus AI data center in Ohio, which is expected to come online this year.
The deals will generate up to 6.6 gigawatts of new and existing clean energy by 2035, according to Meta. The company has partnered with TerraPower to secure funding for the development of two new Natrium units capable of producing 690 megawatts of power. Additionally, Meta will buy over 2.1 gigawatts of energy from Vistra's nuclear power plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Oklo's deal with Meta is aimed at supporting the development of a 1.2-gigawatt power campus in Ohio, which will help fuel the company's growing data centers in the region. The agreements are part of Meta's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to cleaner energy sources.
Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed, but they represent a significant investment by Meta in nuclear power as a clean energy source for its AI operations.

. I MEAN, WE'RE STILL IN 2025 AND ALREADY THE BIG TECH COMPANIES ARE THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET. IT'S KIND OF INSPIRING TO SEE THEM PUTTING MONEY INTO CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS THAT WILL HELP REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT IN THE LONG RUN.
! As you guys know, our school has been trying to reduce its carbon footprint and go more eco-friendly, so it's awesome to see a big corporation like Meta taking steps towards cleaner energy too 
. It makes total sense that they'd want to fuel their AI data centers with sustainable energy - think about all the servers running 24/7 in those data centers! 
I just wish we could learn more about how this nuclear power deal is going to work and what kind of impact it'll have on the environment 
. But hey, at least Meta's moving in the right direction 
!
...I'm kinda surprised they're going down this path, but I guess you can't deny the power (pun intended 
) of clean energy! 6.6 gigawatts of new and existing clean energy by 2035? That's a big step forward for the company's carbon footprint reduction goals. But have you thought about the safety concerns around nuclear power? 
It's definitely not something you can just switch on like a light bulb 
. I'd love to see more transparency about the financial terms of these deals too...aren't they keeping that under wraps? 
... I mean, I guess it's good that they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint and all, but have you thought about the safety record of these nuclear power plants? Like, what if something goes wrong and they accidentally release some radioactive crap into the air? 
It's just so... so... predictable.
. Clean energy is the way forward, you know? And 6.6 gigawatts of new and existing clean energy by 2035 is a pretty impressive goal 
. I mean, we need to reduce our carbon footprint ASAP, so it’s great that Meta is taking steps in this direction 
.
Still, I'm all for exploring new ways to reduce emissions and create sustainable tech solutions 
!
. TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra are all big players in this space, so Meta's got some solid partnerships goin' on here 
. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds! 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's good that Meta is trying to go green and all, but nuclear power isn't exactly the most reliable or safe option in my book. What if one of these 'clean energy' deals goes belly up? Who gets hurt then? 
these deals are a good start, but we need to see more commitment from them to reduce their carbon footprint 
fingers crossed that this is just the beginning and meta becomes a leader in sustainable energy 
It's like Meta is saying, "Hey, we're committed to being sustainable and all that jazz." And with these deals, they're basically creating a new industry for themselves. Nuclear power as a clean energy source? That's some forward-thinking stuff right there! 
The carbon footprint reduction is just the cherry on top, you know? 
I've heard it's got some serious safety concerns and whatnot. And don't even get me started on the waste disposal – it sounds like a real mess 
... Can't we just stick with solar or wind energy for now? 
. Like, shouldn't we be focusing on sustainable energy sources by now? 
On the other hand, if nuclear power can help reduce carbon emissions, that's a win-win in my book 
.
.
their commitment to clean energy is everything and more 
cant wait for Prometheus to come online this year 
And for AI data centers? It just makes sense. We need to be powering our tech with sustainable energy or we're gonna be stuck in the dark ages, pollution-wise 
I'm so stoked Meta is taking the lead on this and setting an example for everyone else to follow 
and the cool part is, it's supposed to be super clean energy now... still got to wonder about the safety aspect tho
