The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Yeah, electrical infrastructure.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

I see.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

That's how ironic is that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Doesn't it also have to be near a source of water to cool down the reactor?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So you already have these things mostly in the right place with a bunch of the infrastructure you just need to build in air quotes, just need to merely build nuclear reactors there.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But but you're still saving a ton of the work and expense because that infrastructure is already in place.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And there's way more of them than we need, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

If we only need 500 and there's 1,600 in California alone, you don't need to repurpose every coal power plant.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

You just need to repurpose the largest ones or the ones that are located in the area where you need it or the safest ones or the ones that are going to do the best job, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

You don't have to repurpose all of them.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

It's actually pretty promising when you put it that way.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Amazing.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Well, I know we're running out of time.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Thank you for coming on the show today.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

I'm a huge proponent of nuclear power.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And I know we sort of mess with China, as I often do on the show, but they're really leading the way with this.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So I hope they don't cut corners and end up with another accident that sets us way back because nuclear really does seem like the only way out of the mess that we're in right now, at least until we get fission.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But I still would count that as nuclear, I suppose.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Thank you very much for coming on the show today.
