As the AI industry grows at a frightening pace, there are things that are changing rapidly. It is the demand for electricity, and because of this electricity, the nuclear phase-out policies of advanced countries are being scrapped.
We all know that the AI industry is the most important industry among future food sources, right? But this AI requires a lot of electricity that is incomparable to existing industries. It has reached a level that cannot be handled with existing electricity alone.
And because of the lack of electricity, many countries have started to increase power plants, especially the construction of nuclear power plants. The problem is that the transition to eco-friendly energy was taking place mainly in advanced countries, but countries that had been insisting on the abolition of existing nuclear power plants because eco-friendly energy could not support the AI industry began to quietly change their stance.
Even the world’s leading investment firms, such as Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, which used to say that eco-friendliness is the industry of the future, are changing their existing positions and are planning to drastically increase their investment in nuclear power plants.
Also, the demand for copper, the rice of the AI industry, is skyrocketing, and since the AI industry is centered on power supply and demand, securing copper to transmit power is not just a private matter, but is leading to a competition between countries. The United States and China have already designated copper as a strategic mineral and are sweeping up copper mines in South America and Africa, so it is said that the country that secures copper is expected to win the AI industry.
