Description
Jacki is joined by Jeff Fisher, Blaze host of Chewing the Fat, to give a proper tribute to Toby Keith, Oklahoma-oil-field-derrick-hand turned country superstar, who lost his battle with stomach cancer. He's still "living in your radio." - - - - - Should the feds relocate all of America’s nuclear waste to the middle of the country’s most important oil and gas field? NO. WAY. Sanjay Narayan of the TX Radiation Advisory Board joins Jacki to discuss the scandal over endangering hundreds of thousands of lives and creating a target for terrorism in our most prolific oil field – the Permian Basin of west Texas. - - - - - Why would oil and gas executives start an advocacy group to push nuclear power? Doug Sandridge of Fulcrum Energy Capital Funds explains the “Declaration of Oil & Gas Executives in Support of Nuclear Energy” calling for a broad expansion of U.S. nuclear energy, including small modular reactors and micro-reactors that companies could use to go off-grid. Sandridge expresses concern about the uranium supply chain and labor force.
