Update: 2025-10-26
Description
In this new episode of the Energy Vista podcast, host Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with Cécile Maisonneuve to explore the reenergized role of #nuclear power in #Europe—and what it reveals about broader shifts in #energy, #sovereignty, and #industrial strategy.
Together, they unpack:
- Why nuclear energy is back in vogue in Europe after years of political pushback
- The role of nuclear in France’s industrial and #digital future—including energy for #AI and #data centers
- How #Russia is using nuclear exports as a geopolitical tool, from financing to reactor deployment
- Why nuclear and natural #gas could compete in some jurisdictions
- SMRs (Small Modular Reactors): innovation vs. proliferation and security risks
- Is there now a “transatlantic” nuclear strategy in the making?
📍 A sharp conversation on how nuclear policy reflects Europe’s deeper struggle with reindustrialization, decarbonization, and global power politics.
