Text me your feedback! Geothermal energy, once known to be localized in certain geographical regions, has expanded its capacity with advanced drilling techniques. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal is not reliant on day-night cycles, weather conditions, or seasons. It can generate electricity 24/7 and provide what is called "baseload" power – a key component for a stable power grid. Join me as I discuss this growing power generation technology with Kristina Hagström-Ilievska and Gabriella Sko...

023: The Public Perspective of Nuclear Energy with Richard Ollington

Text me your feedback! The public perspective of nuclear is positive, nearly half of a global survey of over 20K people are in support of it. This data is a step towards showing where we may need to educate and inform others on the nuclear industry along with many other messages to policymakers, governments, and nuclear producers. The narrative that nuclear is unpopular is dead. Nuclear is also being reinvigorated at a time when discussions surrounding Peak Oil are starting to resurface.&nbs...
