Nvidia Backs Bill Gates' TerraPower in $650M Nuclear Energy Push
Nvidia invests in TerraPower’s nuclear future Nvidia is making its first major bet on clean energy by investing in TerraPower, a nuclear startup founded by Bill Gates. The move signals a broader shift among tech giants toward sustainable energy solutions that can support their growing energy demands, particularly for data centers and AI infrastructure. TerraPower recently secured $650 million in a funding round backed by Nvidia’s venture arm NVentures, HD Hyundai, and Gates himself. With this investment, Nvidia becomes one of the first chipmakers to align itself with next-generation nuclear energy—a sector undergoing a modern renaissance.                          Image Credits:Romilly Lockyer / Getty Images The startup is currently developing its first commercial power plant in Wyoming, featuring the innovative Natrium reactor. This system uses molten sodium instead of water for cooling and includes a unique thermal energy storage system, helping stabilize output in ways traditional reac…
