The Nuclear Frontier: Clean Energy and the Future of American Power | Juliann Edwards

Описание: Juliann Edwards—Chief Development Officer at The Nuclear Company and Chair of Women in Nuclear—joins Coffee With Ken to discuss nuclear energy, clean power, AI, and the future of American competitiveness.

As U.S. energy demand surges—from AI data centers to advanced manufacturing—nuclear power is re-emerging as a critical pillar of national strength. In this conversation, Ken Biberaj and Juliann Edwards explore why nuclear energy is back in the national conversation, how it intersects with artificial intelligence, and what it will take for the United States to compete with countries like China in the next era of energy production.

Juliann shares insight from her work at The Nuclear Company, including how modern nuclear projects are being rebuilt for speed, safety, and scale, the role of technology partnerships in energy innovation, and how nuclear power can revitalize communities while supporting climate and energy-security goals. The discussion also covers public perception, workforce development, and the growing role of women in shaping the future of nuclear energy.

Topics include nuclear energy, clean energy, AI and power infrastructure, energy security, U.S.–China competition, advanced manufacturing, and the future of American power.
