Because they have the least regulation?


Cool climate. And cheap power:

>As part of the deal, Google signed a 22-year contract with Finnish utility Fortum to buy up to 50% of the output from the Loviisa nuclear power plant.

I think estimate of power cost of those reactors are like 3 cents per kWh. Even somewhat more and unit cost is still cheap for base load.
