Even if they don't use it for AI in particular, they will have a private nuclear power facility for their data centers. They would absolutely take advantage of that power generation if it was originally publicly funded.

Google has announced a major deal to harness nuclear energy, partnering with startup Kairos Power to source energy from small modular reactors (SMRs) in the US by 2030.

Don't think this is publicly funded.

Ah. I thought they were fully following in the footsteps of Microsoft.

Edit: I just read tfa. It was a blurb.
