Episode notes
Push Nuclear Permits Now
- Accelerate permitting for new nuclear reactors in the U.S. to address energy shortages. - Support micro nuclear reactors for data centers to improve energy security.
China Dominates Nuclear Construction
- China is building 45% of the world's nuclear reactors under construction and planned. - The U.S. has zero reactors under construction and only 13 proposed, risking energy dominance.
Data Centers and National Security
- Building data centers outside U.S. limits control and risks national security. - Securing data centers domestically is a national security imperative.
