In this new episode of the Energy Vista podcast, host Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with Cécile Maisonneuve to explore the reenergized role of #nuclear power in #Europe—and what it reveals about broader shifts in #energy, #sovereignty, and #industrial strategy.

Together, they unpack:

 * Why nuclear energy is back in vogue in Europe after years of political pushback
 * The role of nuclear in France's industrial and #digital future—including energy for #AI and #data centers
 * How #Russia is using nuclear exports as a geopolitical tool, from financing to reactor deployment
 * Why nuclear and natural #gas could compete in some jurisdictions
 * SMRs (Small Modular Reactors): innovation vs. proliferation and security risks
 * Is there now a "transatlantic" nuclear strategy in the making? 

📍 A sharp conversation on how nuclear policy reflects Europe's deeper struggle with reindustrialization, decarbonization, and global power politics.

🎙️ Recorded in French, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.
