In the Energy News Beat, Conversation in Energy with Stuart Turley interviews Elizabeth Muller, Executive Chair and Co-Founder, about the future of nuclear power and the challenges surrounding nuclear waste disposal. They explore public perception shifts, the potential for recycling nuclear waste, and regulatory barriers in the US compared to Europe. Elizabeth highlights Deep Isolation's innovative underground disposal method and emphasizes the need for legislative changes to advance nuclear power as a key component in achieving net-zero emissions.

We need nuclear power more now than ever in our nation's history. Nuclear and natural gas are the only ways to achieve Net Zero while balancing the grid demands. I had a blast visiting Liz; her expertise and company are great examples of what we need to get things moving to achieve significant low cost and low pollution in the United States.

Thank you, Liz, for stopping by the ENB podcast. I look forward to the updates! Let me know if we can coordinate a podcast with our elected officials to help move forward. - Stu
