Tim Weber discusses the critical need for increased nuclear energy production in the U.S. to address global warming and compete with China. He highlights that nuclear power already supplies nearly 19% of U.S. electricity and 47% of clean energy, avoiding 476 million metric tons of CO2. China is aggressively expanding its nuclear capacity, aiming to triple it by 2035. Weber argues that nuclear energy is essential for powering AI and maintaining U.S. global leadership. He calls for federal investment, streamlined permitting, and innovation to address waste management and meet future energy demands, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.Subscribe to Mid Rivers Newsmagazine!Join Our NewsletterFacebook | Instagram
