Progress, Potential, and Possibilities Podcast / Show Eric G Meyer - Founder & Director - Generation Atomic - Advanced Nuclear Power Advocacy For Humanity
Eric G. Meyer is the Founder and Director of Generation Atomic (https://generationatomic.org/), a nuclear advocacy non-profit which he founded after hearing about the promise of advanced nuclear reactors, and he decided to devote his life to saving and expanding the use of atomic energy. Eric worked as an organizer on several political, union, and issue campaigns while in graduate school for applied public policy, taking time off to attend the climate talks in Paris and sing opera about atomic energy. Eric began his full time nuclear work in May of 2016 with Environmental Progress by organizing marches, rallies, and trainings in California, New York, and Illinois, before leaving to found Generation Atomic in late 2016. In only a short period of time, Generation Atomic has made significant progress in the world of nuclear advocacy. Over the last year they've held several advocacy trainings at conferences, Marched for Science, talked to over tens of thousands voters, and carried the banner for nuclear energy at the climate talks in Morocco, Germany, and Poland. Eric attended University of Minnesota-Duluth where he obtained a Master's Degree in Advocacy and Political Leadership, with Concentrations in Public Sector and Non-profits, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance.
