Why Africa is Primed to Host a New Age in Nuclear Energy with Lassina Zerbo 03.08.2026 53мин

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with leading experts. It is no secret that nuclear energy is gaining attention these days and that should be no surprise. It is clean, reliable, and secure.

There are no pipelines, it relies on distinct supply chains and has great potential for decentralization. This makes nuclear energy perfect for growing, emerging economies that need energy but lack the infrastructure to support traditional energy production and distribution and that is why nuclear is the perfect energy source for emerging economies in Africa. Jack hosts Dr. Lassina Zerbo, Chairman of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board and Energy Advisor in the Office of the President to the Power Hour to discuss why Africa is primed to emerge as a leader for new nuclear energy and how the United States can play a critical role.You can learn more about Dr. Zerbo and his impressive work here and here is a great video where Dr. Zerbo discusses the promise of nuclear energy.As always, you can join the conversation at [email protected]!
