In a landmark show of cross-industry collaboration, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Dow have joined forces with over 140 nuclear companies, 14 financial institutions, and 31 countries to support a shared goal: tripling global nuclear energy capacity by 2050. Announced at CERAWeek 2025 in Houston, this marks the first time major energy users outside the nuclear sector have publicly endorsed nuclear as essential to the clean energy transition.
Beyond pledging support, these companies are urging governments and financial institutions to ensure equitable access to funding for new nuclear projects, including advanced small modular reactors. Meta pointed to nuclear’s role in enabling continuous clean energy for expanding economies, and Dow emphasized its industrial potential. “It will be a lot harder to address environmental concerns while facilitating economic development… without the reliable, 24/7 baseload power nuclear energy provides,” said Urenco’s Laurent Odeh. The initiative—led by the World Nuclear Association and supported by the Net Zero Nuclear partnership—reflects growing momentum around nuclear energy as a scalable climate solution. With broad industry buy-in, this collective move signals a powerful shift: clean energy leadership is no longer just about solar and wind—it’s about building an energy system that’s secure, equitable, and built to last.
