    Data centers are one of the most secure places on earth and with this advantage, we can plant SMR's ( Small Modular Reactors) which run on nuclear fuel. And these SMR's are so advanced that they will not leave any nuclear waste and they have state-of-the-art safety mechanisms. These Data centers consume a lot of energy and Imagine if all the data centers in the world use SMR's we can make a great impact on the environment. These SMR's are being used in Nuclear Submarines and Aircraft Carriers for a very long time.
