When we think of deployment, our minds tend to immediately turn to soldiers getting ready to go to war. In this case, where America announced a major pledge in history, the metaphorical soldiers are some of the largest tech companies who are all teaming up for one reason: “war.” Thankfully, this war forms part of a global fight against fossil fuels, and these companies’ pledges might just be able to turn the tide and win the war.<\/p>\n
A pledge was signed during the CERAWeek conference in Houston by major companies in support of the goal to triple the world’s nuclear energy volume<\/a> by 2050. Per the World Nuclear Association (WNA), over the coming months, the pledge will most likely gain more support from industries such as maritime, aviation, and oil and gas. WNA facilitated the pledge. In 2023, a vow was made at the U.N. Climate Change Conference<\/a> where more than 20 governments signed, as well as some of the leading financial institutions<\/a> in the world, which also aimed to triple capacity by 2050. This vow includes the US and financial institutions, including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. The new nuclear energy pledge simply adds to the 2023 vow.<\/p>\n The WNA’s ‘Large Energy Consumers Pledge<\/a>‘ marks the first time businesses beyond the nuclear sector have publicly supported a large-scale expansion of nuclear power<\/a>. The pledge is tripartite but emphasizes the increasing support for expanding nuclear power among leading industries, finance, and governments. Nuclear energy<\/a> is becoming more sought after, as it is a clean source of power that supplies ongoing, stable energy<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe nuclear energy pledge<\/h2>\n
