The Power of Confidence

Emmet Penney, Editor-in-Chief of Grid Brief and host of the Nuclear Barbarians podcast, joins The Realignment to discuss Germany's decision to shut down its remaining nuclear reactors, why the U.S. hasn't vastly expanded its nuclear power capacity over the past year, the 1970s roots of the country's broken energy grid, decarbonization tradeoffs, and the lack of a broad pro-nuclear political coalition.
