The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries
The Dawn of Nuclear Energy
The Ripple jumped into Europe’s nuclear comeback, gathering investors and energy pros to chat about what’s heating up in the industry. The group dug into fresh changes in Denmark’s laws, the rise of new nuclear funds, and why it’s suddenly a big deal to back small modular reactors.
Main takeaways:
• Investment is moving into nuclear, but getting money is still tough without big public support.
• Regulatory hurdles slow things down, especially with so many different rules across Europe.
• New tech can help, but only if it solves the old problems—think cost, safety, and waste.
• There’s a real need for skilled workers, and it’s tricky to attract them to the field.
• The World Bank’s latest moves could kickstart more global money for nuclear.
Bottom line: The team agreed that while nuclear’s future looks promising, real challenges around money, policy, and talent need teamwork and fresh thinking.
