About this episode
In Energy News Beat – Conversation in Energy, the host Stuart Turley, interviews James Walker, CEO of Nano Energy, discussing the company's innovative micro-reactors designed for remote and industrial applications. Walker highlights Nano Energy's recent milestones, including its NASDAQ listing and acquisition of promising assets, while emphasizing the potential of nuclear power, particularly in remote communities, data centers, and the tech industry. The conversation also touches on the future of nuclear energy, including its pivotal role in space exploration and reindustrialization, as well as the geopolitical challenges in the uranium supply. It is clear we need more nuclear energy, and I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with James. In my interview with Jay, the Founder of Nano Nuclear, we saw how the vision was going to play out, and now we are seeing it roll forward with the help from James. This is an exciting time for the United States and Nano Nuclear Energy.
