Nvidia Urges Taiwan to Embrace Nuclear Power Ahead of Referendum

Nuclear power is an “excellent option” for Taiwan, as demand from energy-intensive artificial intelligence is set to skyrocket in the tech manufacturing hub, according to Nvidia Corp.

“Every society, every company, every individual will use AI,” Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of the American chip giant, told reporters at an impromptu briefing at an airport in Taipei on Friday. Nuclear, as well as solar and wind, are good options for the island, he said. “I really do hope that every form of energy will be explored.”
