Here's something worth paying attention to: next-generation nuclear players Oklo Inc. and TerraPower LLC are looking at pouring over $14 billion into building new reactors—and Meta Platforms is the primary driver. According to BloombergNEF's latest analysis, the social media giant's massive data center expansion is pulling in serious capital commitments from the nuclear energy sector. This kind of mega-infrastructure play highlights how compute-hungry operations are reshaping energy markets. For anyone tracking blockchain scaling solutions and their environmental footprint, this trend signals where institutional money flows when infrastructure demands spike. The computational arms race isn't slowing down anytime soon.

Wow, Meta is really bold, investing 1.4 billion in nuclear power... Isn't this a covert way of whitewashing the energy consumption of the crypto industry? Anyway, I don't understand it.

ngl the capital allocation patterns here are *chef's kiss*—meta's whale-sized compute demands basically photosynthesizing into nuclear infrastructure. behavioral indicators don't lie fr

NGL, Meta invested 1.4 billion into nuclear energy just to support those AI large models. This computational arms race really never ends.

Meta is spending so much money on nuclear power, it feels like the next round of energy wars has already begun...

Maria is burning money, and the nuclear power plant is also taking off. This wave really can't be sustained anymore.

Wow, Meta is spending 1.4 billion on nuclear power. This guy is really going to eat the computing power industry... But on the other hand, who can guarantee this isn't the next trap to cut the leeks? --- Spending 14 billion on nuclear power plants, the arms race for computing power never ends, the big players have already set up the game, brothers. --- Wait, what does this mean? Energy costs are down, computing power is cheaper, are those L2 projects in the crypto world going to be repeatedly pressed into the ground and rubbed? --- Seeing institutions aggressively pile into infrastructure investments makes me nervous. Usually, this is the last wave before a market rally to build a bottom. Everyone, weigh your risk control carefully. --- Nuclear power + AI computing power + blockchain, this iron triangle is coming together, the next hot spot is right here... or rather, the new tool for cutting the leeks is right here.

Meta invests 14 billion to develop nuclear power, now the AI arms race truly has no bottom...

Meta invests 1.4 billion in nuclear power? That's a clever move, AI computing power is the modern gold mine.
