WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2025 – Some states want to be sure they are not left behind in the race to supply Big Tech with nuclear power.

Indiana and Texas A&M University separately announced plans recently to add land and funding to help support the building of small modular reactors (SMRs) in their respective states.

The Indiana Senate passed two bills on Monday that will help utilities companies with the financial burden of building small nuclear reactors. These bills are among several proposals from state lawmakers this year aimed at ensuring AI data centers in Indiana have the substantial power supply they require.
