Washington State is sprinting toward a 100% clean grid by 2045, but the explosive energy demands of AI data centers and rapid electrification are straining our existing hydropower foundation.
Join us during PNW Climate Week to explore how next-generation nuclear technologies can deliver the clean, firm baseload power the region desperately needs.
What to Expect
The AI Baseload Imperative: Why wind, solar, and batteries need a firm-power partner to keep the grid stable.
Scaling SMRs: The real-world timelines and economics of bringing Small Modular Reactors to Washington State.
Policy & Public Trust: Streamlining the siting process, aligning with state mandates, and prioritizing environmental justice.
