I like to say that the future energy system is going to be a lot of nuclear and a lot of renewables.

Nuclear energy, renewables, energy storage. All of these technologies have an important role to play in what our electrical system looks like 20 years from now. Watch Mark and Monica talk about how the United States can maintain its technological leadership, what the grid looks like in years to come and the role of INL in U.S. cybersecurity.
