Meta buys a nuclear power plant (more or less)
1. Meta invests billions to keep Constellation's Clinton nuclear plant operational until 2047. 2. The deal aims to secure clean energy attributes for Meta's carbon accounting. 3. Previous legislative subsidies for the plant are expiring in 2027, risking closure. 4. Big tech firms increasingly support nuclear power for data center energy needs. 5. Constellation's deal with Meta extends operational security without relying on ratepayer support.
