Navigating Nuclear: Trump's Reactor Preferences and Future Prospects

Mark Nelson is back for Part 2!

(If you missed it, here’s part 1)

Another wide-ranging conversation: We discuss the implications of the new U.S. administration on energy policy, particularly focusing on Chris Wright, the incoming Secretary of Energy.

We explore Wright’s background in the oil and gas industry, his connections to the nuclear sector through his board position at Oklo, and what his appointment might mean for both conventional and advanced nuclear power in America.

We also get into the dynamics between different energy sources, including the relationship between nuclear power and electric vehicles, the future of LNG exports, and the complex economics of oil and gas production.

Don’t miss the under-discussed love story (💞) between nuclear and batteries. ☢️🔋

We also touch on recent regulatory challenges facing Big Tech companies’ nuclear power initiatives and how the energy landscape might evolve in the coming years.

We close with why it’s time to build (again). 🏗️ ⚛️ 🚧👷‍♂️🛠️
