Wright shares insights on energy dominance, the need for 100 GW of new firm generation to power AI data centers, and how grid modernization, permitting reform, and diverse energy sources—from natural gas and nuclear to fusion and geothermal—are essential for affordable, secure energy.Wright discusses how LNG exports strengthen U.S. allies and global energy security, while celebrating the innovative work of national labs and materials science (like Ames Lab) that laid the foundation for the nuclear era. He positions today’s innovation drive as a kind of “Manhattan Project 2.0”, offering a compelling vision for America’s energy and science leadership.Listen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2yqqjgPtA7NR2cJewPqbNQ?si=e9df5028fc0e4dd9Listen to us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/13th-park/id1645880081Follow GuestX: https://x.com/secretarywright IG: https://www.instagram.com/secretarywrightFollow UsX: https://x.com/13thandParkIG: https://www.instagram.com/13th_and_parkwww.ballardpartners.comAbout 13th & Park13th & Park is a Ballard Partners production featuring in-depth conversations with leaders shaping policy, business, and technology.
