The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  The Power Hour expands its horizon with this discussion.  Jack talks with Terri Hall of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom (TURF) about how our freedom to drive where we want, when we want is being threatened.  Terri is an activist who got sick and tired of seeing her highway dollars being wasted and decided to do something about it so she started organizing people to bring integrity back to the system. Before she knew it, she was running an organization whose mission was to do exactly that.  While Terri’s work focuses on Texas, you will quickly learn that what she does impacts us all.  Jack and Terri cover a lot of ground, discussing everything from highway spending to what regulators are trying to do track us in our automobiles.   You can learn more about Terri’s great organization, Texas TURF, here.  As always, you can join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Get Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our documentary about nuclear energy, Powering America.  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  Jack invites Chris Mowry of Type One Energy to the Power Hour this week to continue our discussion on fusion energy.  Chris explains in detail how fusion works and why it is such a promising energy source.  From the fuel to the economics to the technology to the waste issue (or non issue to be exact), Jack and Chris cover the fusion horizon.  Most importantly, though, Chris explains why the time is now for fusion and that it won’t be long before our homes and businesses are being powered by this exciting new source of energy.      You can learn more Chris here and about Type One Energy here.  As always, you can join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Get Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our documentary about nuclear energy, Powering America.  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  This week Jack invites Jackie Siebens of Helion, one of the nation’s leading fusion energy companies, to the Power Hour for a fascinating conversation about this exciting technology.  They discuss how the technology works, how close it is to deployment, why fusion could be the key to solving a lot of energy issues, and does it make economic sense.  But most important, Jackie puts to bed the age-old question of whether fusion is just a few decades away.  Not give away the plot, but she makes a compelling argument for fusion being much closer than we think.   You can learn more about Helion here and more about the fusion industry at the Fusion Industry Association here.  As always, you can join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Get Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our documentary about nuclear energy, Powering America.  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.
