Please join CSIS President and CEO, John J. Hamre, on Tuesday, February 25 at 4:00 p.m. ET for a discussion with former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security Sherri Goodman, former Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman, and former Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette on their new report with the Commission on Nuclear Energy and American Leadership: Nuclear Energy & American Leadership: A Blueprint for the Future.
Nuclear Energy & American Leadership: A Blueprint for the Future outlines a framework for restoring the United States to global leadership in nuclear energy and meeting the nation’s long-term energy and emissions-reduction goals. The report explores the recent transition of the United States to a leading energy exporter, increasing global electricity demands, and opportunities for workers in the energy sector. The Commission on Nuclear Energy and American Leadership outlines recommendations for the new presidential administration to secure the benefits that nuclear energy can provide for the United States while minimizing its risks in all dimensions.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
