June is here, and campus is starting to look a little more like summer with every sunny day ☀️

Missed yesterday's live panel in DC? The full event recording is now available.

The US is facing a once-in-a-generation power grid buildout—but we remain heavily dependent on our competitors for the "electrotech stack" (batteries, power electronics, and embedded software) needed to build it. This reliance introduces critical vulnerabilities into America’s digital nervous system.

To counter this, a new joint white paper from the Carnegie Mellon’s Institute for Strategy and Technology (CMIST) and Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) introduces a practical solution: The "Electrotech Moneyball."

Watch the full, on-the-record discussion hosted by FDD and moderated by Harry Krejsa to see how a strategic, risk-ranking framework can help US policymakers secure our energy and AI supply chains without falling into policy paralysis.

Featuring insights from:
Phoebe Benich (CMIST)
RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery (FDD CCTI)
