Amazon.com ( AMZN ) is considering only wind and solar to offer renewable power for projects in Asia, Bloomberg reported Friday.

The company, which wants to use nuclear power in the US, said it is looking at wind and solar power in Asia because it's not yet possible to obtain nuclear power in the region, Bloomberg reported.

"There's no question that in this part of the world renewables remain the most available, scalable, affordable and mature technology that we can turn to today," Ken Haig, Amazon Web Services' APAC regional head of energy and environmental policy, told Bloomberg.

"Amazon ( AMZN ) has enabled 83 renewable energy projects in Asia with a combined estimated renewable energy generating capacity of over 2.2 gigawatts," an Amazon ( AMZN ) spokesperson told MT Newswires in response to a request for comment. "These are wind, solar and wind-solar hybrid projects...Currently, we are focused on investing in renewable energy in Asia while waiting for other carbon-free energy sources to become viable options."
