REUTERS/Callaghan O'Hare/File PhotoWASHINGTON : President Joe Biden's administration is asking big technology companies to invest in new climate-friendly power generation to cover their surging demand, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told Reuters.

She said the administration had discussed the possibility that companies could band together to make use of small modular reactors for nuclear energy, and could simultaneously place orders to reduce costs. NuScale, the only small modular reactor company with a license to build from U.S. regulators, had to cancel its only project last year at the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory.
