With the global demand for net-zero emissions, we cannot get there without nuclear power, and when I get to talk with experts about nuclear power, it is a great day. But when they are pushing modular reactors with a plan to help eliminate energy poverty, I am all in.
My visit with Jay Yu, Founder, Executive Chairman, and President of Nano Nuclear Energy, was a lot of fun, and we covered everything from the cool branding of their Micrreactors to their plans for helping reduce global emissions in mining. If you want your EVs, you must have mining, which is hugely fossil fuel intensive.
Talking about solutions is critical, and Jay and his team are on that road. They have even considered the fuel side of the equation and have the road map rolling.

Their reactor designs the ODIN and Zeus are quite impressive and will solve some great energy solutions.
