The Financial Times published a blog post yesterday, November 4, reporting that Meta Original plan to build nuclear-powered AI in the U.S.Data Center,But the program has hit a roadblock with the discovery of rare bees.
Note: Meta's goal is to utilize nuclear energy to support its growing AI computing needs. Nuclear energy is considered a low-carbon and efficient energy option for large-scale data processing needs.
Sources tell me that Mark.Zuckerberg(Mark Zuckerberg)-owned Meta plans to strike deals with several nuclear power suppliers, but a rare species of bee has been found near the site of a proposed data center.
The discovery sparked concern from environmental regulators, leading to a setback in Meta's plans. Due to the protected status of the rare bees, Meta has had to face a more complex environmental assessment and approval process, which means more time and resources will be needed to continue the project, and could even lead to its cancellation.
In the current context of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, companies must pay more attention to the ecological impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, and Meta's case highlights the tensions and challenges faced by technology companies in their pursuit of innovation and sustainability.
