Kirk Sorensen is one of the most active and articulate advocates of nuclear energy that I know. Listen carefully to this interview and see if you agree.
I got permission to take a few hours off of my day job yesterday morning to attend a professional event related to future employment. I crossed town on the excellent Metro system to the Florida Ave-Galludet University stop and made my way to the Kellog Conference Center for the opening of the first session of…

The conversation ranged from thorium, to uranium supplies, to chemistry versus engineering, to the history of Oak Ridge, to the unreality of energy solutions that require continuous cash transfers from the public to the developer. For…
Kirk Sorensen, one of the most enthusiastic energy geeks I know, spent the 40th anniversary of man’s first walk on the moon talking to a group of Google employees about LFTR.

Charles Barton blogs at Nuclear Green and Energy from Thorium John Wheeler produces This Week In…
