// the signal · what the data says
Power, not chips, is the binding constraint on AI. 2025-26 saw AI operators sign for nuclear restarts (Three Mile Island/Crane for Microsoft), new SMRs (Google-Kairos, Amazon-X-energy), and multi-GW gas. Five+ gigawatt-scale sites came online in 2026, each a different hyperscaler.
