Kirsty Gogan Gives Keynote Address at the International Energy Agency's Stakeholder Engagement Conference
Kirsty Gogan was honored to give the keynote address at the International Energy Agency's Stakeholder Engagement Conference. She said that to meet the scale of demand, we need to fundamentally transform how we develop and deploy nuclear projects. We need to repower 2TWe of coal capacity, deliver refinery-scale hydrogen production, creates entirely new categories of emissions-free energy services that preserve jobs while powering industrial civilization.
