NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang publicly urged Taiwan to invest in nuclear energy! He hopes the government will provide assistance in energy supply.

Jen-Hsun Huang calls for Taiwan to invest in nuclear energy, and energy should not be stigmatized.

According to reports, a few days ago, Huida CEO Huang Jenxun clearly stated at the Insight AI Trend Summit hosted by Zhongan Technology that the biggest challenge for the AI industry in the next decade is energy issues. "We need all forms of energy, including wind, solar and nuclear," he said. Taiwan should definitely invest in nuclear energy." "Taiwan should definitely invest in nuclear energy, and energy should not be stigmatized," he stressed.

In an exclusive interview with TVBS, Huang reiterated the need for the Taiwan government to help provide more energy, pointing out that Taiwan's existing industries such as fabs, packaging and testing plants, and electronics manufacturing require a lot of electricity, and this local electricity is indeed converted into local economic output and GDP. He also pointed out that in Taiwan, in addition to the adoption of AI by many partners in the industry, AI education should also be promoted ( he once said that people who will not use AI will be replaced by people who understand AI ). And all of this requires the ability to use AI infrastructure.

Jen-Hsun Huang's remarks this time were consistent with his statements during his trip to Japan in April, when he stated: Artificial intelligence will change all industries, from healthcare to manufacturing, to education and agriculture. However, the data centers and cooling equipment required for the development of AI may trigger the fastest growth in power demand in many years.

He stated that this will be the largest AI computer in Taiwan, starting with 20 megawatts this year and needing to be quickly increased to 100 megawatts. However, energy supply is currently the biggest limitation, and this will require support from the Taiwanese government.

Jen-Hsun Huang: Nuclear energy is one of the sustainable energy sources.

In fact, from Jen-Hsun Huang's past words and actions, it can be seen that he is undoubtedly a pro-nuclear advocate. In an interview with Bloomberg last September, he stated: "Nuclear energy, as one of the energy sources, is a wonderful path forward and is also one of the sources of sustainable energy." He added: "It will not be the only source. We need energy from various sources and to strike a balance between the availability of energy, its cost, and long-term sustainability." He said: "Although AI will use more electricity, it will compensate with astonishing productivity."

In April, he also expressed hope that Japan would promote electricity production to meet the demands of AI during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. After the meeting, Jen-Hsun Huang told reporters that the two discussed Japan's leading position in robotics technology and industrial manufacturing, making it particularly suitable for the development of AI. However, he also emphasized that generating and creating intelligence requires energy.

Japan is weighing the demand for electricity at data centers, the challenge of restarting nuclear reactors shut down after the Fukushima disaster, and raising expensive fossil fuel imports. As part of negotiating a trade deal with the United States, Japan will consider investing in a $44 billion Alaska liquefied natural gas program, Ishiba said.
