Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

The Atomic Show #110 – George Karayannis, Executive Director, EnergizeAmerica

October 17, 2008 By Rod Adams 3 Comments

George Karayannis, Executive Director, EnergizeAmerica chats with Rod Adams and Kelly Taylor about energy policies and proposed actions.

Here is the mission of Energize America as found on the organization’s web site:

EnergizeAmerica is a comprehensive and compelling 20-point plan developed by informed citizen activists to wean the U.S. from its fossil fuel addiction and provide the U.S. with Energy Security by 2020, and Energy Freedom by 2040.

Energize America seeks to Make the Right Choice the Easy Choice as we move toward an Energy Smart culture.

One of the components of the proposed energy plan left me wondering a bit about the real goals and missions – here is what the plan says about nuclear power:

Nuclear

Nuclear power is experiencing a political resurgence of sorts, and several new plants are in various stages of planning. However, the nuclear industry enjoys huge subsidies that shield the industry from nuclear disaster liability. The nuclear industry and our government have also failed for decades to solve the nuclear waste problem. These issues must be addressed before nuclear power is more widely used.

I think you will find the discussion lively, challenging and worth the effort it takes to listen. Kelly did a bang up job of asking probing questions.

I would be interested in your responses.
