Regulation and cost deter AI's N-power growth depite $4.6 billion push

As the appetite for electricity grows, especially from tech firms and data centers, experts forecast that full-scale commercialization of nuclear energy may lag until 2035, hindered by substantial initial costs and an immature supply chain.
