Meta's plan to build a nuclear-powered AI data center in the US has been halted due to the discovery of a rare species of bee on the proposed site. The project faced significant environmental and regulatory hurdles, which were exacerbated by the presence of the rare bees. The plan, led by Mark Zuckerberg, aimed to utilize nuclear power to support Meta's AI operations, but the ecological impact of the construction site led to the project's suspension, according to FT.
