The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. Jack is joined this week by Joel Spangenberg of CORE Power to discuss the promise of using nuclear energy to power commercial ships and to provide floating nuclear power plants for emergency power or even to bring electricity to regions that lack modern energy infrastructure. Could nuclear energy be the key to reestablishing American shipbuilding leadership? Will the nations that master maritime nuclear energy be those that dominate the future? What do Russia and China think about that? Check out this conversation to find out!
