A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed by Rob McNealy, who runs a very informative podcast called StartUpStoryRadio. You can find the recorded interview at Alternative Energy Sources with Rod Adams of Adams Atomic Engines.
Rod Adams is Managing Partner of Nucleation Capital, a venture fund that invests in advanced nuclear, which provides affordable access to this clean energy sector to pronuclear and impact investors. Rod, a former submarine Engineer Officer and founder of Adams Atomic Engines, Inc., which was one of the earliest advanced nuclear ventures, is an atomic energy expert with small nuclear plant operating and design experience. He has engaged in technical, strategic, political, historic and financial analysis of the nuclear industry, its technology, regulation, and policies for several decades through Atomic Insights, both as its primary blogger and as host of The Atomic Show Podcast.

Governor Jim Douglas of Vermont is resisting pressure from some of his constituents and some groups from outside of his state. These organizations are in court trying to assert increased power for individual states to oversee nuclear power plant licensing and safety issues. Governor Douglas’s position was described in an article that I found posted…
