New research from the Nuclear Innovation Institute has shown nuclear power in the clean energy frontier will enable the growth of Canada’s data driven future.
On Friday, Federal Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon spoke at the Empire Club of Canada on “The Urgent Mission to Make Canada AI and Quantum Strong.”
Ahead of the remarks, NII Chair James Scongack presented a message to attendees saying Canada’s AI future must be powered by nuclear energy.
Scongack says if Canada wants to attract and sustain investment in data centres, nuclear must be part of the conversation adding its how we can guarantee clean, reliable power while keeping data and the economic value on Canadian soil.
Jessica Linthorne, NII President and CEO: “Here at home, the Clean Energy Frontier region of Bruce, Grey and Huron counties offer the right mix of assets to support Canada’s AI advantage: baseload nuclear power, high-capacity transmission lines, access to skilled labour from existing clean energy projects, and innovation-ready communities.”
