Ultimately, everything we do has an impact on the environment, and perhaps the future of the energy industry lies in a combination of energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re joined by John Nixon, the Global Lead for Strategy and Energy Chemicals and Infrastructure, and John Lusty, the Portfolio Development Executive for Canada and ECI. They discuss the optimism and excitement surrounding advancements in the energy industry, particularly in the areas of nuclear energy and digital technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, you will learn more about the importance of diversification, resilience, and reliability in ensuring energy security. You will also hear the significance of digital technologies, such as digital twins, in improving the efficiency of energy assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn in this Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Energy security strategies from various geographies and regions (3:58)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nuclear fuel developments and small modular reactors (7:20)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A nuclear renaissance ahead?
