He highlights the "fatal trifecta" concept, underscoring the vital importance of reliable, dispatchable power like nuclear and coal. Bryce shares transformative experiences from his documentary "Juice," illustrating electricity's profound human impact, and criticizes the political opposition to nuclear power and the influence of unaccountable environmental NGOs and biased academics.Episode description
I’m really excited to bring you guys this episode with my friend Robert Bryce, author, podcaster, husband, dad, and an all-around great guy.
Robert and I talked about his career, watching Enron implode, how electricity shapes our lives, and why the grid is the commons. We touch on other stuff too!
Check out Robert’s latest book, A Question of Power, and his documentary, The Juice: How Electricity Explains the World.
Definitely check out his podcast, Power Hungry. It’s one of my staples.
