Jensen Huang dropped an interesting take: within 6-7 years, we might see mini nuclear reactors popping up everywhere. His vision? Everyone becomes a power generator, similar to how farms operate independently.
The backdrop here is real—AI's energy appetite is exploding. Data centers are guzzling electricity at unprecedented rates. Traditional grids are struggling to keep pace.
So could small-scale nuclear be the answer? These compact reactors promise localized, consistent power without the footprint of traditional plants. No more reliance on centralized infrastructure. Decentralized energy for a decentralized future, perhaps.
Think about the implications for compute-heavy operations—mining, AI training, rendering farms. What if energy becomes as modular as server racks?
The question isn't just technical anymore. It's about whether we're ready to rethink how power gets distributed in a world that's increasingly hungry for it.

Another new story from Jensen Huang: in 6-7 years, every household will have a nuclear reactor? Just listen and forget it. Big money still has to keep competing on data center electricity costs.

The nuclear power runs out after a while; in the end, we still have to rely on the traditional power grid as a backup.

Fill all nuclear reactors in 6-7 years? Come on, that number seems doubtful to me.

Install a small nuclear reactor at home? Jensen Huang is dreaming; let's address safety and cost first.

A nuclear reactor at home? Elon Musk's idea is a bit crazy.
