Nuclear Power: The Accidental Death of a Zero Carbon Energy Source | Mark Nelson
Listen now
Description
Almost 80 years ago, the world discovered a carbon-free way to generate vast amounts of energy via nuclear power. While it remains the most reliable source of zero-carbon electricity, it's barely mentioned in conversations around combatting climate change. In this episode, Mark Nelson of Radiant Energy Group discusses how a mix of market forces, government interventions, and resistance from the environmental movement stopped nuclear's rise, and how current government interventions in the energy market continue to work against nuclear energy while simultaneously reinforcing our dependence on fossil fuels.
