Jon-Michael Murray, REPOWER Program Director at Terra Praxis presented on a panel – xxx title -- alongside the DOE, IAEA, and Oklo. We believe this was SF Climate Week’s first ever event on nuclear energy. The focus was on mechanisms, outlook, and progress in funding nuclear energy projects. Recent deals: Microsoft, Google, Nucor, Oklo and Equinix, and Amazon Talen were discussed as well as DOE programs combined with private capital that could enable viable investment opportunities.
