Global Liberal Shock Over India's Uranium Deal with Australia | Super Power in Nuclear Energy & Bomb

Welcome back to Sustainability Street, CPE's podcast on the intersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in.For this episode, I'm talking about nuclear energy with Jon Lemmond, growth lead for sustainable operations, smart building services and energy engineering for real estate management services at JLL. There is a push to bring nuclear energy back into the mainstream power landscape. Its return would ease energy concerns and siting constraints for the fast-growing data center business and heavy industrial users. "If we can build nucler in a cost efficient way, once it's built, that's a huge amount of base loand that should then help us site more, build more and then also help minimize the cost increases from energy usage," Lemmond told me.But nuclear has sustainability downsides as well, and, Lemmond explained, its complex history has created a patchwork regulatory framework that will make progress difficult.Here are some highlights from our conversation:(02:26) Making of an energy expert(05:51) The federal push for nuclear(09:51) Nuclear and siting capability(15:08) A nation divided on nuclear(19:28) Shifting public opinion(20:48) Sustainability upsides/downsides(25:50) Elsewhere in energy innovation(30:41) For further information

With the recent wave of milestones across the U.S. nuclear sector, we were eager to better understand what these achievements mean for the future of advanced reactors. Over the past month, Antares, Valar Atomics, Deployable Energy, and Aalo Atomics each achieved criticality, an important technical milestone, through the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program (RPP) and Nuclear Energy Launch Pad. To help us put these milestones into context, we were delighted to host Dr. Rian Bahran, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactors in the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy. Rian oversees the Department's portfolio for advanced reactor research, demonstration, and deployment, and is a career member of the Senior Executive Service who has served under both the Biden and Trump Administrations. We were thrilled to visit with Rian to "demystify" the latest developments in U.S. nuclear and discuss what still needs to happen before these technologies reach commercial scale. In our conversation, Rian explains why the four recent criticality milestones represent an important step forward for advanced nuclear. While criticality is not the finish line, he shares how these demonstrations help validate a new commercialization pathway by allowing companies to build and test nuclear hardware in months rather than years. He describes how the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot and Launch Pad initiatives are creating greater regulatory certainty, helping companies unlock private capital, and accelerating progress toward commercial deployment. We discuss the DOE's broader strategy for expanding U.S. nuclear capacity, from gigawatt-scale reactors and small modular reactors to microreactors. Rian explains why the DOE is pursuing multiple technologies simultaneously, allowing the market to determine the winning designs while supporting innovation across the reactor, fuel cycle, and supply chain ecosystems. He outlines how reactor uprates, restarts, and investments across the nuclear fuel cycle can provide near-term additions to U.S. generating capacity while advanced reactors continue progressing toward commercialization. We explore the role advanced nuclear could play in powering AI infrastructure, military installations, industrial facilities, and future export markets. Rian discusses how the DOE is leveraging AI to accelerate reactor design, licensing, manufacturing, and deployment, and why workforce development has become one of the industry's greatest long-term challenges. He emphasizes that the U.S. has reached a true inflection point for nuclear energy, driven by unprecedented alignment across government, industry, private capital, and growing electricity demand. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion, and we sincerely appreciate Rian taking the time to join us during such a busy time. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting that three key themes have driven markets so far this quarter. First, Treasury yields have continued to move higher, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to approximately 4.55% and the 30-year Treasury yield climbing above 5%. Second, renewed geopolitical uncertainty following the end of the Iranian ceasefire helped lift WTI crude oil prices by roughly $4/bbl this week to approximately $72/bbl. Third, equity markets have experienced notable sector rotation, with investors shifting capital out of semiconductor stocks and back into the Magnificent 7. Mike concluded by highlighting the sharp reversal in sentiment toward small modular reactor (SMR) companies. While SMR stocks were among the market's strongest performers entering 2026 amid growing enthusiasm for nuclear power, the group is now down roughly 30% on average year-to-date. Nick Morriss, Brett Rampal, and Veriten Senior Advisor Bill Flores also joined the discussion, contributing their perspectives and questions on nuclear energy and power.

When we talk about fuel and energy, one thing we can't miss is nuclear energy. It's a hot topic in Utah right now with strong feelings on both sides of the argument. But what's the real story? KSL NewsRadio's Maria Shilaos has a brand new podcast called the KSL News Daily and today and tomorrow, she takes a deep dive on nuclear. She joins Inside Sources to discuss what she learned from experts, energy advocates, environmental activists, and people who've had their lives changed by nuclear.

Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence right now. But almost no one is asking the most important question: Where is all the power going to come from? AI data centers are incredibly energy-intensive. The infrastructure being built to support this technology is going to require massive, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity. And that brings us to a surprising conclusion… Nuclear energy is quietly becoming one of the most important investment themes of the next decade. Over the last few weeks, we had the chance to sit down with James Walker, CEO of Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE), and one thing became very clear: The nuclear story isn't just about AI. It's much bigger than that. In fact, the original opportunity had nothing to do with AI at all. It started with a simple observation: Money was flowing out of wind and solar, but global demand for power kept rising. Before AI, before data centers, before the hype—there was already a massive gap forming between energy supply and real-world demand. And nuclear sits in a unique position. It produces enormous amounts of power, runs for years without interruption, and, despite popular belief, has one of the best safety records of any energy source on a “deaths per unit of energy” basis. That's not an opinion, that's just math. But here's where it gets interesting from an investment standpoint. Most people think about nuclear as these massive, one-off power plants that take a decade to build. That's the old model. The new model looks very different. Instead of one giant reactor, companies like Nano Nuclear are focused on small, modular reactors, essentially portable power plants that can be deployed almost anywhere. And that changes everything. Because now the opportunity isn't just powering large cities or feeding into traditional power grids. It's about going places where energy has never been reliable or cost-effective before. Think: Remote communities in Canada or Africa running on expensive diesel Island economies in Southeast Asia importing fuel daily Industrial sites without access to consistent power Data centers that can't afford downtime These are markets measured in gigawatts of unmet demand. And the economics are compelling. Diesel is not only expensive, it's unreliable. Fuel has to be shipped in constantly, and disruptions are common. A small nuclear system, on the other hand, can run for years once installed. This doesn't just lower costs—it creates something far more valuable: Energy independence. From a financial planning perspective, this is where the story connects directly to your portfolio. We are entering a period where global infrastructure is being rebuilt in real time. Electrification is accelerating AI is increasing demand exponentially Emerging markets are still underpowered That combination creates long-duration investment opportunities. But it also creates risk. Because these types of businesses don't follow traditional timelines. They require: Large upfront capital Long development cycles Regulatory approvals before revenue scales Which means the path won't be linear. This is why we always come back to the same principle: You don't bet the farm on a single idea (aka a single stock), but you don't ignore transformational trends either. Nuclear falls squarely into that category. It's not a short-term trade. It's a potential secular tailwind that could play out over decades. Another key insight that came out of our conversation: The biggest opportunity may not even be AI. It may be emerging markets. There are hundreds of millions of people globally who still lack access to reliable energy. Without power, there is no productivity. Without productivity, there is no economic growth. Nuclear—specifically smaller, scalable systems—has the potential to unlock that trapped economic capacity. And when that happens, entire regions move up the economic ladder. So what does this mean for investors today? It means you should start thinking differently about where future growth will come from. The next decade won't just be about semiconductors and compute. It will also be about the hard assets that make the AI revolution possible: Energy Commodities Infrastructure Emerging Markets These are all themes we hold in our current investment models. The bottom line is simple. We are at the early stages of an energy transformation that most investors are underestimating. Nuclear is no longer just a legacy power source. It's becoming a solution to some of the biggest constraints in the global economy. And whether it's AI, industrial demand, or emerging markets… All of it comes back to one thing: power.

Urenco's chief commercial officer Laurent Odeh joins us and outlines how the leading uranium enrichment company is expanding its operations in the US, the Netherlands and Germany to meet the growing demand for nuclear fuel. Demand which is coming from both existing units and also some of the growing numbers of advanced reactors in development.He talks about the company's history and the experience it has gained, including the decisions it had to take during the 2010s and how they fit in with what is now a record order book for Urenco's services.Odeh says that it is quicker to expand enrichment capacity than it is to build a new nuclear power plant, so is confident that enrichment services will be able to keep track with any rapid future nuclear energy capacity growth.He also gives an update on Urenco's development of LEU+ and HALEU fuel capabilities, as well as talking about the medical isotopes business that Urenco is growing, plus the decommissioning side of its work.And, in a wide-ranging discussion, Odeh says what he wants to see governments doing to help support the nuclear fuel cycle and wider nuclear energy growth in the years ahead.Key links to find out more:UrencoUrenco to build new US enrichment plant capacityWorld Nuclear NewsEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Ed's new project, Critical Mass, starts with a deceptively simple question: if Canada decides it wants more nuclear power, can it actually deliver it? The answer turns out to be complicated.As part of the project, we're hosting four live town halls across the country. The first was recorded at Toronto Climate Week on June 5, featuring Todd Smith (former Ontario Minister of Energy, now VP at Candu Energy) and Brendan Frank (VP of Policy at Clean Prosperity). Together they work through the project's core tensions - cost, democratic legitimacy, and standardization - with the kind of honest talk you've come to expect from EvC.Thank you to Geoff Burt and The Consecon Foundation for helping make the evening possible. Send us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Follow us on:LinkedInBlueskyX/TwitterInstagramEnergy vs Climate relies on the support of our generous listenersDonate to keep Energy vs Climate goingProduced by Bespoke Podcasts

For years, the energy transition was discussed as a shift that would happen in steady, predictable increments. But a massive surge in electricity demand in recent years—now colliding with a fracturing geopolitical landscape—has reshaped the global race for clean, reliable power.   All this has pulled nuclear energy back to the center of the national conversation—with many policymakers from both sides of the aisle calling for a nuclear renaissance. But past multi-billion dollar cost overruns on traditional gigawatt-scale projects still hang over the sector, even as a novel pipeline of small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear technologies promise to reshape the grid. This has put renewed attention on whether the US regulatory system is ready for the scale and speed of what's needed.   So what reforms are key to supporting the US nuclear energy sector? What needs to be done to ensure speed, safety, and predictability? And where do policymakers need to be careful to preserve the credibility, independence, and public trust that make nuclear regulation durable over the long term?   Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Ashley Finan and Amy Roma about the growing nuclear industry and evolving landscape of nuclear regulation.   Ashley is the Jay and Jill Bernstein fellow here at the Center on Global Energy Policy and previously served in senior leadership roles at Idaho National Laboratory, where she worked on nuclear energy and national security issues.   Amy is a partner at the law firm Orrick, where she advises clients on legal, business, and policy matters related to the existing nuclear fleet, as well as advanced reactors, fusion facilities, and supporting nuclear infrastructure. She is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Center. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Labour is labelling the Government's overhaul of council voting rights a distraction. A Bill amendment will strip voting rights from unelected members —including iwi and youth representatives— on council committees. It comes after the Far North District Council moved to expand its Māori liaison committee. Labour's Ginny Andersen told Heather du Plessis-Allan the issue is not a priority for New Zealanders. She says people are far more worried about paying their bills and being able to cope everyday. National's Mark Mitchell disagrees, saying that stance shows how out of touch Labour really is. He told du Plessis-Allan that most Kiwis are pretty proud of our democracy, and he doesn't think they want unelected people going onto committees and making decisions. Mitchell says it's always prudent to have unelected people with special skillsets and backgrounds advising, but not voting, and he thinks most Kiwis would agree.

France's utility giant EDF is poised to start dismantling the Fessenheim nuclear power plant on the border with Germany, a €1.4 billion project slated to take 22 years. Built in 1971, the plant's two reactors are the oldest in France and have been permanently shut down since 2020 after 43 years in operation, following a string of safety failures. But first, the ongoing Ebola outbreak in Africa is starting to take an economic toll on local populations. 

Coming up, we explore an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring Uganda. How is it being managed? Plus, NASA announces preparations for Artemis III, whether nuclear power plants are susceptible to attacks from rogue actors and natural disasters, and whether ice vests and cold showers could help people lose weight...

The UK's Low Level Waste Repository in Cumbria in the North West of England has been operating for nearly seven decades, so probably for longer than any other such facility anywhere. During that time things have changed from a "tip and tumble" typical landfill disposal system, to today's approach with containerised waste and engineered vaults.Nuclear Waste Services' Director of Sites and Operations, Mike Pigott, and Head of Waste Services Howard Falconer, explain the history of the site, how its operations have changed and its plans for the future - including an update on the prospects for a deep geological disposal facility.The Low Level Waste Repository's role is to ensure that low-level waste generated in the UK is disposed of in a way that protects people and the environment. The repository site receives low-level solid waste from a range of customers, such as the nuclear industry, the Ministry of Defence, non-nuclear industries, educational, medical and research establishments. Legacy disposal trenches and vaults are now full and ready for permanent closure.Pigott outlines progress on the capping of the original parts of the giant site, which aims to make what began as initially a temporary disposal facility, a permanent - and environmentally safe - place for the low level waste. Falconer outlines the sustainability steps taken to reduce the amount of low level radioactive waste. For instance, reusing material from decommissioning projects in new-build constructions. The result is that there are still many decades-worth of capacity at the site.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsNuclear Waste ServicesCapping of UK repository progressesEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

In this episode, Simon and Dan cover a wide mix of macro updates, Canadian corporate earnings, and AI-related investment themes. They start by discussing the latest Canadian inflation data, where headline CPI surprisingly slowed despite a volatile energy environment. The hosts also weigh the broader macroeconomic impact of surging bond yields—highlighting the climb in both U.S. and Canadian yields—and explain how these moves directly pressure household disposable income via upcoming fixed-rate mortgage renewals. The conversation then shifts to corporate earnings, starting with Constellation Software's strong quarter, record M&A spending, and whether AI poses a structural threat to the software sector. They also touch on Atkins Réalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin), reviewing its massive nuclear opportunities, unique Candu technology moat, and a new partnership with Nvidia to develop nuclear-powered AI factories. They wrap up by analyzing Canadian Tire's sluggish retail top-line growth, exploring a large sequential decline in Sport Chek store locations and elevated credit card delinquencies that signal a stretched consumer. Finally, the hosts highlight key industrial earnings from Applied Materials and Finning International, which are both capitalizing on the massive infrastructure and data center build-outs fueling the global AI boom.

Marc Andreessen joins Joe Rogan for a conversation on AI, politics, technology, and the future of American society. They discuss how artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from novelty to infrastructure, and why Andreessen believes its long-term impact will be overwhelmingly positive despite growing public fear around automation and surveillance. The conversation covers the explosion of AI coding tools, the emergence of “AI agents,” and how these systems are already reshaping software development, medicine, and education. Andreessen argues that AI should be understood less as replacement technology and more as a universal layer of cognitive augmentation, giving individuals access to capabilities that previously required teams of experts. They also discuss the political and cultural dynamics surrounding AI, from fears about mass unemployment and surveillance to concerns about censorship, centralized power, and China's accelerating AI ecosystem. Along the way, the discussion expands into California politics, wealth taxes, urban decline, crime, housing, nuclear energy, and whether America can still build ambitious things at scale.   Resources: Follow Marc Andreessen on X: https://x.com/pmarca Follow Joe Rogan on X: https://x.com/joerogan Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Forty years ago, news was only beginning to emerge that an accident had occurred — one that could put millions of people at risk. A reactor at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, then part of the Soviet Union, had exploded, releasing a plume of radioactive gases and particles into the atmosphere and spreading some of the most hazardous radionuclides known to humanity.We look back at what caused this devastating nuclear accident, and explore its legacy with Adam Higginbotham, author of “Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster.” He describes the perfect storm of Soviet secrecy, design flaws, and a series of bad decisions and mistakes that led to the accident, and how it shaped the future of nuclear energy. We'll find out how a special fungus discovered in the reactor could help protect astronauts from cosmic radiation. And we'll also hear why and how nuclear energy is making a comeback in the U.S. — including at Three Mile Island, the site of another nuclear accident.

Bill Gurley is a Wall Street and Silicon Valley legend. He's the analyst who led the Amazon IPO and went on to become one of the most successful VCs of all time and an early investor in Uber, Zillow, and GrubHub. Today, he joins Nicole to answer the biggest questions on investors' minds right now. Bill doesn't mince words: yes, we're in an AI bubble— and he explains exactly why, from circular spending deals that smell like Enron to the speculative behavior that always follows a real wave of innovation. He breaks down why the IPO system is rigged against retail investors, what tokenization could do to fix it, and what a SpaceX IPO would actually mean for everyday investors. He also shares the one market sector he thinks is quietly becoming a buy, and the specific Chinese battery stock he personally owns. Then the conversation shifts to Bill's new book, Runnin' Down a Dream, and his surprisingly personal framework for building a career you actually love. He shares the question he asked himself twice that changed the entire course of his life, his research on career regret, and why chasing passion is a competitive advantage.
