Panel Discussions
You've heard the remarkable claims before about new climate technologies and solutions, but which ones will truly make a societal impact? Join us for a rapid-fire discussion to uncover the most important truths and misconceptions about climate innovation.
Recent models show that as we move to a decarbonized economy, significant building of zero carbon energy infrastructure will be required that will include all generation types. To meet the clean energy goal, the nuclear deployment could be over 6 GW per year in the 2030s and estimates of up to 200 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2050. Looking beyond the technical requirements associated with repurposing coal stations with nuclear technology, one finds a unique opportunity in our transition to a clean economy. This panel will discuss how repurposing coal with nuclear is an opportunity for utilities to start a nuclear project and get federal support through various mechanisms as they transition the coal station.
Climate change presents a fundamental injustice: The well-off of the world have driven the bulk of the problem, while the less well off suffer the most from the impacts, including drought, floods, fiercer storms and heat waves. New climate solutions are essential. But to be effective, they must be sustainable themselves and become part of everyday life. This panel will explore how to reap the fruits of science, integrate new thinking, and tap the wisdom of historically marginalized peoples to deliver the benefits of climate technology to everyone.
