We were pleased to join our client Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) this week for Nuclear Energy & the AI Future, a forum focused on Indiana embracing future nuclear energy projects. Barry Schneider - President and COO of Steel Dynamics - was a featured panelist and shared with attendees, “We [SDI] are the most energy-efficient steelmaker in the world. When we think about site selection, we think about power - that means the availability, reliability, and cost of electricity are all very important to us.”

Thanks to Indianapolis Business Journal and the Indiana Office of Energy Development for presenting this event!
