Charles is the founder of Oppenheimer Energy. As the grandson of J. Robert Oppenheimer, his family’s legacy is undeniable and deeply personal. His work focuses on the practical, near-term deployment of existing nuclear because it is the fastest path to clean, reliable, safe, and abundant energy that our nation needs to keep pace with the insatiable demands of electrification, AI, and national security.

Oppenheimer Energy is focused on removing the barriers to deploying today’s nuclear systems. The company identifies near-term, investable opportunities to expand existing nuclear infrastructure.  While others look to next-generation nuclear that may come online a decade from now, Charles has no patience for that. He’s found a way to scale up proven nuclear systems that can be operational in just 24 months. But unlocking these projects takes strategic capital—funding that is mission-critical and can to move quickly. That’s where DAFs are uniquely powerful.
