Summary
Energy is the nucleus of everything. The oil that powers our cars, the natural gas heating out homes, and the nuclear keeping the lights on: it’s all tied back to energy policy. Reliable energy is essential to both American prosperity and national security. To help lay out just how essential understanding energy policy is, and what the future holds for it, we spoke to Jack Spencer, Director of the Center for Energy, Climate and Environment at The Heritage Foundation, host of The Power Hour podcast, and author of the book “Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation.” Power Hour Podcast: https://www.heritage.org/the-power-hour Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation: https://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-Revolution-Powering-Next-Generation/dp/088890357X
