Women now make up a significant share of the workforce in top US tech companies, with Amazon leading at 45% and firms Meta, Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft all crossing the 33% mark. These figures suggest steady progress in [narrowing gender gaps](https://www.gracehopper.com/blog/gender-gap-in-technology?ref=newsletters.qs.com) in an industry long dominated by men. Rising female participation also reflects broader trends, with more women pursuing [STEM education](https://www.unesco.org/en/gender-equality/education/stem?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and leadership pathways. 

## **🍃** The US Had the Highest Share of Nuclear Energy Over China and India

Nuclear energy generated a significant share of electricity in 2024, with the US, China, and India among its leading adopters. Beyond providing [stable baseload power](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306261924017495?ref=newsletters.qs.com), nuclear plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting energy security. Nations are positioning nuclear as a long term [clean energy](https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/3-reasons-why-nuclear-clean-and-sustainable?ref=newsletters.qs.com) solution. This momentum was echoed at [Climate Week NYC 2025](https://www.climateweeknyc.org/?ref=newsletters.qs.com), where nuclear innovations featured prominently in discussions about scaling climate solutions.

AI tasks show wide variation in carbon emissions, with text-based functions like classification emitting under 1g of CO₂ per 1,000 queries, while image generation produces 1594g, equal to driving over four miles. This contrast highlights the heavy environmental toll of [computationally intensive](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/artificial-intelligence-training-computation?ref=newsletters.qs.com) AI models. As demand for AI accelerates, companies are exploring greener data centers and renewable energy adoption. The [European Union’s Green Deal](https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal%5Fen?ref=newsletters.qs.com) policies are pushing for[ sustainable innovation](https://www.boardofinnovation.com/blog/driving-sustainable-innovation-with-ai-5-examples-of-ai-sustainability/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) across high energy digital industries.
