Professor Ning Li has spent decades at the intersection of energy, technology and industrial strategy. A nuclear engineer, complexity scientist and founding Dean of the School of Energy at Xiamen University, he is also credited with coining the term "Small Modular Reactor" nearly 20 years ago. In this wide-ranging conversation with Bryony Worthington, Ning Li explains why China has weathered recent global energy shocks better than many expected, how electrification is transforming economic resilience, and why solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles have become China's most important exports. They explore whether the world is really swapping dependence on fossil fuels for dependence on Chinese electrotech, why modularity has become the defining feature of successful modern technologies, and what lessons other countries can learn from China's rapid industrial scaling. The discussion also covers the future of nuclear power, the role of coal in supporting China's grid, the untapped potential of heat pumps, and why the energy transition should be framed not as a burden, but as an opportunity for growth. Topics include: Why China has been relatively resilient to oil and gas disruptions The rise of the "electrostate" China's new energy exports: EVs, batteries and solar Why modular technologies scale faster The origins of the Small Modular Reactor concept The changing role of coal in China's power system Heat pumps and industrial electrification Nuclear power's future in China Climate action as economic development Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

Artificial intelligence is helping transform how the Energy Department approaches one of its most complex challenges: cleaning up nuclear waste. At the 2026 SCSP AI+Expo, Savannah River National Laboratory Associate Laboratory Director for Environmental and Legacy Management Eric Pierce joined GovCIO Media & Research to discuss how the lab is applying AI to improve environmental monitoring, reduce costs and accelerate cleanup efforts across the Savannah River Site. Pierce highlighted SRNL's Advanced Long-Term Environmental Monitoring Systems (ALTEMIS), which uses AI to predict contaminated groundwater plume movement. The technology has reduced monitoring requirements from quarterly sampling across 2,000 wells to a single annual verification sample, significantly lowering costs while maintaining confidence in environmental safety. He also discussed the lab's AI Accelerated Strategies and Solutions in Environmental Technology (AI-ASSET) initiative, which builds on ALTEMIS by collecting real-time, AI-ready environmental data. Currently, roughly 30% to 40% of the site's data is prepared for AI applications. Pierce also explained how SRNL is working with industry and government partners to modernize the remaining data and expand the use of AI-driven environmental cleanup technologies. The effort is part of a broader DOE initiative exploring how AI can advance scientific discovery, operational efficiency and innovation across the national laboratory system.

Michael McFaul and John Batchelor discuss the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as a pivotal moment of near-nuclear obliteration that underscores the necessity of modern crisis management. McFaul emphasizes that a critical failure during this era was the lack of direct communication and a tendency to guess the adversary's intentions. While the Soviet Unionwas the primary threat in 1962, today the People's Republic of China has emerged as a major, revolutionary power player. McFaul argues that modern diplomacy must prioritize clear information and established prevention mechanisms to stabilize relations with both Russia and China. (1)1902

La novela Nuclear -publicada por Yegua de Troya- nos traslada a las ruinas de un proyecto que simbolizó las grandes aspiraciones de la Cuba socialista: la central nuclear de Juraguá, una obra impulsada por la Unión Soviética que nunca llegó a completarse. A partir de ese escenario cargado de memoria y significado, la escritora cubana Maielis González construye una historia que explora las huellas de las promesas incumplidas, el desarraigo, la resistencia y la búsqueda de futuro en un país marcado por la incertidumbre. Sobre literatura, memoria y una Cuba en el foco de la actualidad conversamos hoy con su autora. También recorremos junto a Alberto Ortiz el boom de las librerías latinoamericanas en Madrid y Barcelona, convertidas en espacios de resistencia frente a la gentrificación de sus barrios y el éxodo de los negocios tradicionales; y repasamos las noticias más importantes del día, desde las polarizadas elecciones presidenciales en Colombia hasta el agónico conteo de la segunda vuelta en Perú.Escuchar audio

Today, wind power accounts for just under 10% of all electricity globally, around the same as solar, recently overtaking nuclear power. 20 years ago, the figure was under 1%. In that time, the sector's leadership has moved around from Europe to the US to Asia, but one specialist European manufacturer has stayed in the leading group throughout: Vestas — a member of the global wind energy aristocracy. This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich is joined by Henrik Andersen, CEO of Vestas, to discuss the extraordinary growth in the wind energy industry, the challenges it faces with rising interest rates and political hostility, and where the best place to build turbines is in 2026.  Together they do some myth-busting and answer: If wind is so great, why does it need subsidies?  Is wind pointless because it's intermittent? Are turbines killing all the birds? What happens to the turbines at the end of their lives? Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

Serhii Plokhy explains that Anastas Mikoyan emerged as a voice of reason, having opposed the missiles from the start. As the U.S. blockade began, Khrushchev ordered missile-carrying ships to turn back, though one ship with nuclear warheads was ordered to proceed. Washington remained dangerously unaware of Soviet submarines armed with nuclear torpedoes and the true number of Soviet troops on the island. Kennedy privately admitted he felt he had "no choice" but to act, partly fearing impeachment. Dean Rusk famously noted that the Soviets "blinked" when their ships finally stopped. (5)1920

Serhii Plokhy concludes that the crisis ended with a secret deal, but Fidel Castro was outraged, having advocated for a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Anastas Mikoyan was forced to negotiate the removal of tactical nukes while his wife was dying in Moscow. The Soviet military felt deeply humiliated by the public withdrawal. Plokhy warns that modern threats like cyber warfare and a lack of fear among current leaders make the world more dangerous today than in 1962. He emphasizes the "human factor"—the risk of a subordinate acting independently—as the ultimate danger in nuclear brinkmanship. (8)1959

Serhii Plokhy describes how on October 16, 1962, National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy informed President Kennedy that U-2 spy planes had discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. Kennedy felt personally betrayed by Khrushchev's prior lies regarding the deployment. Faced with intense political pressure and accusations of being "weak" during the midterms, Kennedy initially acted as a hawk, leaning toward an immediate air strike. Robert Kennedy was also surprisingly hawkish during early deliberations. However, advisors like Robert McNamara eventually persuaded the President to adopt a quarantine (blockade) to avoid an immediate nuclear escalation. (1)1897

Jon Herold comes in Monday on a show that keeps circling back to the same unresolved problem: the people who benefit from election fraud are not going to fix election fraud, and nobody on the side that wants to fix it has an answer for how to make that happen anyway. Spencer Pratt is being slowly bumped from the LA mayoral runoff, a former CIA officer's thread explains exactly how it is done and why it leaves no fingerprints, and Jon asks the question that has no clean answer: what do you actually do when you can prove the fraud but the system has no mechanism to correct itself? Trump's appointment of Pulte as acting DNI inadvertently killed the FISA 702 reauthorization, and Jon reads that as entirely intentional. NSPM 11 on AI and national security dropped over the weekend, and buried in it is confirmation of two classified NSPMs numbered 9 and 10 that nobody knew existed. The Antares micro reactor hit first criticality under Trump's 2025 nuclear executive order, becoming the first privately developed non-light water reactor to reach the milestone in 40 years. The Iran-Israel missile exchange is described as behind us for now, DOGE.gov is back up with still no savings counter update, and Jon has strong feelings about the Department of War maintaining an official list of approved religions.

Henry Sokolski warns of China's fast breeder reactor program, which produces super weapons-grade plutonium capable of fueling efficient nuclear triggers. He also notes South Korea's growing interest in developing independent nuclear capabilities and submarines to counter threats from North Korea and China, despite international non-proliferation standards.LACONIA AT SPARTA320 BCE 

Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible.1920 MARS

Henry Sokolski analyzes China's nuclear capabilities, including missile silos and underground transport systems, while questioning their peer-to-peer ambitions. He also observes economic trends, noting that gas price fluctuations and sparse Costco crowds suggest consumers are becoming increasingly budget-conscious and selective about their spending habits in the current economy.1958
