The Atomic Show #071 – The Cleantech Show interview Nick Bruse and Rod Adams

ByRod Adams

Nick Bruse of TPN’s The Cleantech Show invited me for an interview. He also gave me permission to cross post that interview. Hope you enjoy.

Nick Bruse of The Cleantech Show, hosted by The Podcast Network, invited me to his show to discuss nuclear power as a potential clean technology. As Nick said, it is one of the identified wedges that can provide enough power to make a difference when it comes to the global emissions of greenhouse gases.

The original show is available from Nick’s blog at The Cleantech Show #024: Nuclear Alternatives, Interview with Rod Adams, Adams Atomic Engines Inc.

I hope that you enjoy the show and that it encourages you to subscribe to The Cleantech Show. Nick does a great job each week of bringing information about clean technology developments, entrepreneurial efforts in clean tech, and some of the other societal issues associated with human development.

  1. Hi Rod,

    This was a great show! I think you did a fabulous job of handling the questions. I think you’ll make a lot of people think and take nuclear power more seriously. I liked the way you pointed out that what many people consider to be “natural” methods of power generation still require mining and other technologies to bring to fruition. That doesn’t make them any more “natural” than atomic.

    Anyway, I think you stated your case quite well, and I enjoyed the podcast (as usual).

    I’ve also been enjoying your interviews of late. Really interesting stuff to hear about the good old days when times were simpler and experimentation could be done for it’s own sake.

    I hope you continue to keep the show going!!!

  2. Steve:

    Thank you for the kind words. It is encouraging to know when people care enough to write about the show.

    I have no intention of stopping; though there might be some lulls in production as my day job responsibilities ebb and flow. Stay tuned for the next couple of weeks for some really interesting fare that is already “in the can” and planned.

    I think you will enjoy it.

    Rod
