Trailblazer 05 | Kirsty Gogan & Dr Rita Baranwal | Nuclear Powerhouses

Get ready to meet the trailblazers driving the change behind our clean energy future. This week our trailblazers are two inspirational powerhouses creating a new set of possibilities around nuclear. Holly joins Kirsty Gogan, cofounder of Energy for Humanity and Managing Partner at LucidCatalyst, and Dr. Rita Baranwal, former Assistant Secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy in the U.S. Department of Energy, and now VP of nuclear at the Electric Power Research Institute to talk energy access, decarbonisation challenges and gender equality in the nuclear industry.

In this compelling and utterly optimistic discussion, two formidable nuclear energy experts explain why nuclear is so often left out of the conversation and, more importantly, why we have no choice but to include it in the mix of transition fuels to get us to a net-zero future.

We believe conversations about our clean energy future should be as relevant around a kitchen or classroom table as they are around boardroom or political tables. Only audacious creativity and unprecedented collaboration between diverse groups will ensure we evolve fast enough to outpace our global energy and climate challenges. We’re here to fuel a new energy conversation and it starts with you.
