Bipartisan support for nuclear energy has been the key to unlocking its central role in addressing the intersecting challenges of industrial strategy, energy policy, climate targets, and national security. In today's polarized environment, the need for clear and effective communication has never been greater. Keeping nuclear out of the polarized political fray is crucial for its success. This session will bring together thought leaders from government, industry, and policy sectors to explore communication strategies that ensure nuclear energy stays above the divisive political discourse while promoting its diverse appeal—both domestically and internationally. The panel will delve into how nuclear energy can remain a cornerstone for global stability and economic growth while meeting rising energy demands.
