There are technologies that decouple human well-being from its ecological impacts. There are politics that enable these technologies. Join me as I interview world experts to uncover hope in this time of planetary crisis.

Nuclear fuel is nothing like the coal or gas it replaces. Where fossil fuels are destroyed in combustion, nuclear fuel must survive years of continuous fission inside a reactor and come out the other end looking almost exactly as it went in. In this ... more
For two decades the nuclear conversation has revolved around new builds, advanced reactors, and megaproject risk. Meanwhile, forty Westinghouse pressurized water reactors continue operating at roughly the same thermal output they were commissioned at... more
In this episode of Decouple, Chris sits down with Kyle Chan of the High Capacity Substack to unpack what “AI with Chinese characteristics” actually means. Rather than framing artificial intelligence as a simple US–China race to AGI, they explore how ... more
In this special episode of Decouple, Chris Keefer speaks with Ken Petrunik, one of the few leaders in the Western nuclear industry who has taken large reactors from first concrete to operation under budget and ahead of schedule. Petrunik’s career spa... more

You should learn about the genetic bottleneck phenomenon, quite easy to drive extinct. We are deliver actual WWE backbreakers to life everyday. Cheetah’s would be done in short order if they dropped to 0.3%. The Cheetah’s niche may get refilled over time.
Great positivity for nature’s resilience, but animals and plants are actually quite fragile. We’ve destroyed most of it in not very long compared to the scales you like consider.
Stay positive, but try to empathize or walk-a-mile in the shoes ... more
So while I’m giving it three stars, it’s more like a middle point between 5 and 2. James Krellenstein’s episodes are amazing, for example, but many episodes can fall into nuclear advocacy traps, such as excessive hippie punching. Hence, this is a series which can be great, but is very uneven.
Brilliant episode.thanks for your ongoing excellent podcasts🙏
Great guests going into great details of the fascinating topic of (not only) nuclear energy. An absolute must if you are tired of black and white oversimplifications from mainstream content. You learn how old the molten salt idea actually is; under what circumstances EVs help fighting global warming; how to build reactors in time and budget (and how not). Sehr empfehlenswert. Дякую за Вашу працю.
Ever wonder why a smart guy talks nuclear all day when renewables are the solution? He’s a nuclear industry shill. An oligarch puppet! Shame! Your kids will know you stalled the transition MF!
