So why did America stop building it? In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron explores one of the most important—and misunderstood—technologies in human history. From the rise of nuclear energy and America's early leadership to the regulations, fearmongering, and political barriers that have crippled its growth, this is a deep dive into what nuclear power reveals about innovation, risk, freedom, and progress. Along the way, Yaron covers the latest headlines: Trump's Iran negotiations, Bernie Sanders' proposal to socialize AI ownership, free speech crackdowns in Britain, remarkable breakthroughs in medicine and longevity, and inspiring examples of educational reform and crime reduction. Can nuclear energy help power the next century of human flourishing? Or will the permission-slip society continue to stand in the way? Watch, share, and join the conversation.
