50 episodes later… Thank you all for joining us on this journey. We are so pleased to celebrate this milestone by hosting Neha Palmer, CEO and Co-Founder of TeraWatt Infrastructure! Neha Palmer’s career in energy is extensive, with experience in utilities, finance and technology. In her role most prior to TeraWatt, as Head of Google’s Energy Strategy, she led Google to be the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy in the world.

In this episode we will dive into the electric heavy-duty vehicle space. This sector is notoriously hard to decarbonize, yet accounts for 23% of US transportation emissions. Tackling it has major benefits for our air and Earth. To do so, Terawatt’s approach includes thinking of electric heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure in the same way as we think about building energy solutions to data centers. The demand is high, the scale is large, and the capital is intense. Tune in to hear Neha’s thoughts.

Thank you to Energy Dialogues for making this (and all our prior episodes!) happen.

Keynotes:

• How to tackle complicated electrification issues

• Why is the energy transition a ‘once in a generation’ transition?

• What lessons is TeraWatt taking from global electrification leaders?

In the last 20 years, the United States has only successfully built one nuclear energy project. So how does startup The Nuclear Company plan to turn the industry on its head?

In this episode, we are joined by Joe Klecha, Chief Nuclear Officer of The Nuclear Company, to discuss the startup’s ambitious plans to deploy 6 GW of new nuclear power in the next decade. Having played a key role in the development of Southern Company’s Vogtle project, Joe reflects on lessons learned and how the nuclear industry will look much different in the future.

We cover must-know topics including why nuclear energy is seeing a resurgence in public opinion, how technology will play a key role in lowering costs, why their innovative partnership model is critical to their success, and where the next generation can play a role.

Keynotes:

-Why the U.S. stopped building new nuclear, and why need to start again

-How macro trends like electrification and AI are affecting perceptions of nuclear energy

-How digitalization and technology will make nuclear energy more cost-effective

-And much more
