On this podcast, Paul interviews Philip Ord, President
of Americans
for Nuclear Energy. The group advocates and educates on behalf
of nuclear power in the United States. New Mexico is a
"nuclear" state as the home of the A-bomb and two national nuclear
labs. Storage is also part of New Mexico's nuclear
story.
Mostly Paul and Phil discuss nuclear's potential for energy
production and why it is better than either coal or so-called
"renewables." Phil believes that climate change is a clear and
present danger to humanity but he's also a supporter of free
markets. The two of them discuss what policies need to be in place
in order to bring about a nuclear renaissance. Finally, we talk
about France and how it became such a pro-nuclear nation in the
area of electricity generation.
