Ad's is joined by Mark Nelson (@Energy Bants) founder and managing director of Radiant Energy Group, a organisation that supports low carbon energy transition and keeping nuclear power plants open. They tackle the three big points of contention in the debate around atomic energy. Waste, the link between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons and the timelines it takes to get nuclear power plants completed. Ads and Mark also explore the current reach of nuclear technology around the world, How our perceptions of time play a role in feelings around nuclear waste and Marks thoughts on how political and spiritual thought around nuclear power has lead to its collapse in the last 20 years.
