Electrify The Highway? with Emmet Penney, The Nuclear Barbarian

Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to present this extremely ENERGY DENSE conversation with Mr Emmet Penney, electrical system analyst and critic, host of The Nuclear Barbarians Substack and Podcast, writer, philosopher, and partner in the Grid Brief Newsletter.

We discuss Emmet's writings on the history of the electrical grid, the limitations of renewable energy sources and hype around electric vehicles, how nuclear reality is different than nuclear perception, and ask the question of how we expect to electrify America's fleet of Big Rigs.

You can find Emmet's writings at the Nuclear Barbarians Substack and sign up for his Grid Brief Newsletter here.
