The World NEEDS This Clean and Cheap Energy | Robert Zubrin

Energy demand is set to skyrocket-in the US and around the globe. What if we could tap an energy source that is clean, abundant, and cheap? We could if regulators would get out of the way.
Aerospace and nuclear engineer Dr. Robert Zubrin highlights how oppressive regulation blocks nuclear projects without improving safety. You will hear about the exciting progress scientists are making with fusion and small modular reactors. We also cover how the US is ceding lucrative global nuclear markets to China.
Dr. Zubrin is the author of The Case for Nukes: How We Can Beat Global Warming and Create a Free, Open, and Magnificent Future. Learn more here:
