33. Is Nuclear Power the Answer?

Nuclear has been an energy source for decades but sadly, it hasn't gotten the love that our guest and Sarah Derdowski (co-host) feels it should. Blake Lindsay, partner at McKinsey & Company, uses this episode to give the history of nuclear (including how the Navy made it cool by using it to power submarines), costs, and the pros and cons of putting it into the mix of our energy transition. Is nuclear truly carbon free? And will it stand the test of time? Whether you tune in for Blake's thoughts and opinions on the future of nuclear power or to see how Derdowski attempts to contain her excitement about this topic, we hope you listen and learn.
