TOKYO — Google is considering how to bring electricity from nuclear power plants to its data centers, CEO Sundar Pichai said in an interview with Nikkei in Tokyo as the tech giant searches for ways to meet the huge energy demands of its artificial intelligence projects.

Google’s initiative will likely reignite the development of carbon-free power sources. Toward that end, Pichai also said his company will increase its investment in solar and thermal power.
