I had an absolute blast at NAPE with David Blackmon, Rey Trevino, Michael Tanner, and our guest podcast hosts Jay Young and Keith Stelter. This interview is one of my favorite, fun, episodes talking about the balanced diet of power we need to go forward. As David says, we need more sustainable power; nuclear is part of that formula.

David Blacmon is a legendary energy thought leader, and I had an absolute blast with David at NAPE. David had signed the declaration of oil and gas executives supporting nuclear and talked about the energy hypocrisy of not supporting nuclear.

David even came up with the interview topic with Grace Stanke and Meredeth Angwin on a nuclear webinar/panel. Please follow and subscribe to David on his Substack HERE: https://blackmon.substack.com/ and his LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-blackmon-2325189/

Enter Douglas Sandridge, who discusses why he is pushing nuclear support as an oil executive. We then go on a huge discussion including Chris Wright, Alen Gilmer, Meredeth Angwuin, Robert Bryce, and many other industry energy leaders.
