Description

Nuclear power stands at a critical crossroads in America. With growing demands for electricity and a desire from the incoming Trump administration to bolster America’s energy independence, nuclear energy has the potential to transform our future.

So what’s preventing the United States from experiencing a nuclear revolution?

In a groundbreaking new book, Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Jack Spencer argues nuclear power can be a dynamic, market-driven energy source—but only if government gets out of the way.

“Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation” (Optimum Publishing International) makes the case that regulatory barriers have made nuclear power unnecessarily expensive rather than the economically competitive energy source it should be.

Today, a maze of outdated regulations are stifling innovation while doing little to enhance safety.

Spencer spoke with The Daily Signal to explain the challenges facing the nuclear industry and how it could power America in the future.
