Propaganda, Progress, and the Future of Nuclear Energy with Andrew Kirima

Nuclear energy has been one of the most misunderstood technologies of the last century. Fear, propaganda, and poor storytelling have turned one of the cleanest and most powerful energy sources into a cultural villain. But what if nuclear is the key to abundance, resilience, and America’s future? Andrew Kirima is an energy entrepreneur and advocate working on the frontlines of the nuclear renaissance. In this episode, he explains how Texas kept its reactors alive, why disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima created decades of misplaced fear, and how nuclear waste could actually become a resource. We also discuss the U.S.–China energy race, the coming “Neo-Industrial Revolution,” and why building hard technology is essential if we want to thrive.
