Our show this week was recorded live at the Nuclear Energy Assembly in Washington, DC. It comes in three parts. 

First, we're asking: how do we prepare the US nuclear industry for liftoff? We'll dig into a new government strategy to bridge the gap to commercialization in nuclear, and a range of other deep decarbonization tech.

Then, what does a grid saturated with renewables, storage, and new nuclear look like? What are the ways these technologies can work together?

And finally, we'll look at some investment trends across clean energy: where the capital is flowing, where it's not flowing, and does ESG backlash even matter?

Jigar Shah, director of the DOE’s loan programs office, and Katherine Hamilton, chair of 38 North, join Stephen Lacey on stage for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of nuclear.
