I just listened to this today and tracked down your npub. I am a power engineer working for an engineering consultant. Most of what we do is help build "renewables" and the new transmission infrastructure to get to them. Feels like I am soulessly fiat mining. I have long obsessed with nuclear..... glad to hear the market isn't as dead as I have been told.

Talking nuclear power with nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak.
Why is the world so scared of radiation associated with nuclear power? Were exposed to it naturally everyday, from the sun, bananas, flying, any medical diagnostic instrument.
Is it willful ignorance or intentional misinformation? Either way, nuclear power is staged to claim its rightful position as the preeminent energy source to lead humanity into the 22nd century.
Discussion
I suggest a new podcast I just found called Gridlocked: why the 21st century is broken and how to fix it. They go through a thorough examination of the tradeoffs amongst competing power technologies and the hang ups keeping nuclear from truly flourishing. He momentum is in our favor, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Thanks! I just downloaded all of them.
I have been told to "be the change you want to see", I think it's time I get involved somehow. Need to start researching to either advocate inside my company or join someone who is building SMRs or something. Always been uncertain which direction to go in or what my first steps should be.
