Power, Timber, and the World Cup — How Energy, Materials, and Cities Are Being Rebuilt

From next-generation energy to next-generation cities, this episode of Frontline looks at how innovation is reshaping the foundations of American industry. Segment 1 — Nano Nuclear: James Walker, CEO of Nano Nuclear Energy, explains why small modular reactors could soon power data centers, defense sites, and remote industries — and what’s holding them back. Segment 2 — Building with Timber: Graycor’s John Denbo takes us inside an Amazon warehouse built entirely from mass timber — one of the first large-scale tests of sustainable construction at industrial scale. Segment 3 — The City as Platform: Atlanta’s Rich McKay, Katie Kirkpatrick, and David Cummings discuss how the 2026 FIFA World Cup fits into a bigger plan for infrastructure, mobility, and startup growth.
