Going Fission Speaks to Dayne Eckermann, General Manager of Bright New World.  This became quite a long discussion, and I have elected to release this in two parts. Dayne has worked for several years as a Senior Policy Advisor with the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME), a state based representative body for the mining and oil and gas industries, which is invaluable for Bright New World.
