0:23.6 | We've got that story, plus the media's uncharitable trust, but first, Amazon goes nuclear |
0:29.7 | to invest more than half a billion dollars to develop small modular reactors. |
0:35.9 | Amazon Web Services and is investing more than $500 million |
0:39.3 | in nuclear power announcing three projects from Virginia to Washington State. AWS, Amazon subsidiary |
0:46.8 | in cloud computing, CIA being their biggest customer, has a massive and increasing need for a |
