Entergy’s Chief Nuclear Officer Kimberly Cook-Nelson stopped by the pod to talk to me about Entergy’s nuclear fleet, her experience working in the nuclear industry, how utilities plan on changing nuclear comms, and more.
As a Louisiana resident, I have to say this podcast was a bit disappointing. Hearing her rave about Entergy being diverse and inclusive and pushing for more solar and wind to meet net zero by 2050 is just more of the same claptrap BS we hear on repeat. I love her enthusiasm about nuclear and hopefully there are real efforts behind her words but when a utility prioritizes diversity and inclusion over a reliable grid I start losing confidence. I also don't want to see our grid (primarily natural gas and nuclear) get overtaken by intermittent power generation and go through the same expensive lessons we're seeing in California and Texas. I'm optimistic though. Thanks for the great podcast!
Entergy’s Chief Nuclear Officer Kimberly Cook-Nelson Glad a Nuclear Professional is leading Entergy, who does not want to compete? in ISO RTO ??Markets?? Pilgrim & IP premature Closure == Business in ANTI controlled NE Pols like Corrupt Cuomo. Glad she said she is balancing RE deployments to GRID Reliability, kind of cooperate speak for NOT kissing the RE$$ RING? Maybe sanity in a Corporate feeding $$ Frenzy at the Inflation Reproducing ACT.

Thanks for listening!
I, too, hope we see more nuclear in Entergy's footprint.

Most enlightening, thank you! I passed on the podcast to people who ought to think about this.
