Power Cast: What You Need to Know About Nuclear Power

PowerCast

Nuclear power is an underutilized form of energy production that is safe, reliable, and provides emissions-free electricity. It has potential to help provide much-needed affordable electricity to people all over the world. Unfortunately, it is also deeply misunderstood, and scare tactics and myths are prevalent.

In this latest edition of the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment’s PowerCast, Daren Bakst, host of the PowerCast and Senior Research Fellow in Environmental Policy and Regulation, is joined by Ed McGinnis, former acting Assistant Secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy at the Department of Energy, and currently CEO of CURIO™, and Jack Spencer, Senior Research Fellow, Energy and Environmental Policy at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss nuclear power, including its importance and challenges.

Circular Economy & Nuclear Energy – A Chat With CURIO Legacy’s Ed McGinnis

Climate Confident

Nuclear power can potentially help reduce the emissions associated with power generation. However, there are well known issues with nuclear – primarily its cost, the time to develop a nuclear power plant, and the highly radioactive waste it generates.

CURIO™ is a hugely ambitious company working to tackle two of these three problems.

I invited Ed McGinnis, CURIO™’s CEO  to come on the podcast to tell me more. We had a cool conversation discussing the problems in the nuclear industry today, the innovative solutions CURIO™ has come up with to solve these problems, and the products CURIO™ are producing from the nuclear waste stream.

This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.

Is Nuclear Energy a Safe Alternative to Fossil Fuels

The Joe Pags Show: Is Nuclear Energy a Safe Alternative to Fossil Fuels?

The Joe Pags Show

Former Assistant Secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy Ed McGinnis spoke with Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo Wednesday to discuss the safety, efficiency, and affordability of nuclear energy as an alternative to fossil fuels.

“A lot of people are talking about the positivity of nuclear energy. It sounds evil, until we talk about the energy side of it. Can you dispel any fear I might have when it comes to nuclear energy?” asked Pags.

“We’ve never had safer reactors in our history. They all go through enormous scrutiny,” said McGinnis.

“Chernobyl was an older design. We’ve learned a lot from those incidents. We’ve built new designs that have much more robust safety and security features. These are not your grandparents’ reactors,” he added.
