James Fleay: "What's The Deal with Nuclear Energy?"

James Fleay: "What's The Deal with Nuclear Energy?"

On this episode energy systems expert James Fleay joins Nate to talk about the current state of nuclear energy and its potential applications in the future. Out of all the potential 'replacements' for the subsidy of the fossil labor force we've grown used to, nuclear energy is one of the most frequently suggested as being the savior of our modern lifestyles. What is the reality of the benefits and costs of nuclear energy? How does it fit into our current mix and our financial situation? Does it have the ability to support 'human flourishing' for millenia to come? Will the expansion of it result in a toxic waste situation that we can't come back from? Or is nuclear energy simply one more piece to the puzzle for complex societies to support - and eventually reduce - their energy demands?
