🌍 Why it matters for the planet: The shift towards nuclear and renewable energy by tech companies represents a proactive approach to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change

⏭️ What's next: The tech industry's pivot to cleaner energy sources sets a precedent for other sectors, especially as artificial intelligence and other energy-intensive technologies gain prominence
