Our analysts Tim Chan and Mayank Maheshwari discuss how nuclear power and natural gas are reshaping Asia's evolving energy mix, and what these trends mean for sustainability and the future of energy. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Tim Chan: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Tim Chan, Morgan Stanley's Head of Asia Sustainability Research.Mayank Maheshwari: And I am Mayank Maheshwari, the Energy Analyst for India and Southeast Asia.Tim Chan: Today – a major shift in global energy. We are talking about nuclear power, gas adoption, and what the future holds.It's Monday, August 18th at 8am in Hong Kong.Mayank Maheshwari: And it's 8am in Singapore.Tim Chan: Nuclear power is no longer niche; it's a megatrend. It was once seen as controversial and capital intensive. But now nuclear power is stepping into the spotlight—not just for decarbonization, but for energy security. Global investment projections in this sector are now topping more than $2 trillion by 2050. This is fueled by a growing appetite from major tech companies for clean, reliable 24/7 energy. More specifically, Asia is emerging as the epicenter of capacity growth, and that's where your coverage comes in, Mayank.With the rising consumption of electricity, how does nuclear energy adoption stack up in your universe?Mayank Maheshwari: Tim, it's a fascinating world on power right now that we are seeing. Now the tight global power markets perspective is key on why there is so much investor and policymaker attention to nuclear power.Nuclear fuels accounted for about a tenth of the power units produced globally. However, they are almost a fifth of the global clean power generation. Now, power consumption is at another tripping point, and this is after tripling since 1980s. To give you a perspective, Tim, 25 trillion units of power were consumed worldwide last year, and we see this growing rapidly at a 25 percent pace in the next five years or so. And if you look at consumption growth outside of China, it's even faster at 2.5x for the rest of the decade when compared to the last decade.Now policy makers need energy security and hence, nuclear is getting a lot more attention. In Asia, while China, Korea, and Japan have been using nuclear energy to power the economy, the rest of Asia, it has been more an ambition – with India being the only country making progress last decade. Southeast Asia still has a lot more coal, and nuclear remains an ambition as technology acceptance by public and regulatory framework remains a key handicap. We do, however, see policy makers in Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia looking at nuclear fuels more seriously now, with SMRs also being discussed.Tim Chan: That is a really interesting perspective, Mayank. So, you have been bullish on the Asia gas adoption story. So, how do you think gas and nuclear will intersect in this region?Mayank Maheshwari: I think nuclear and natural gas, like all of the fuel stem, will complement each other. However, the long gestation to put nuclear capacity makes gas a viable alternative for energy security. As I was telling you earlier, policy makers are definitely focusing on it. As you know, the last big increase in focus in nuclear fuels also happened in the 1970s oil shock, again when energy security came into play.Global natural gas consumption has more than doubled in the last three decades, and it's set to surprise again with AsiaPac's consumption pretty much set to rise at twice the pace versus what right now expectations are by the street. In this age of electrification and AI adoption, natural gas is definitely emerging as a dependable and an affordable fuel of the future to power everything from automobiles to humanoids, biogenetics, to AI data centers, and even semiconductor production, which is getting so much focus nowadays.We expect global consumption to rise again after not growing this decade for natural gas. As Asia's natural gas adoption rises and grows at 5 percent CAGR 2024-2030; with consumption for gas surprising in China, India, and Japan. So, all the large economies are seeing this big increases, especially versus expectations.The region will consume 70 percent of the globally traded natural gas by 2030. So that's how important Asia will be for the world. And while global gas glut is well flagged, especially coming out of the U.S., Asia's ability to absorb this glut is not very well appreciated.Tim, having said that, nuclear energy is clearly getting more interest globally and is often debated in sustainability circles. How do you see its role evolving in sustainability frameworks as well as green taxonomies?Tim Chan: On sustainability, one thing to talk about is exclusion. That is really important for many sustainable sustainability investors. And when it comes to exclusion for nuclear power, only 2.3 percent of global AUM now exclude nuclear power. And then, that percentage is lower than alcohol, military contracting and gambling. And the exclusion rate is also different dependent on the region. Right now, European investors have the highest exclusion rate but have reduced the nuclear exclusion from 10.9 percent to 8.4 percent as of December last year. And North American and Asian exclusion rates are very, very low. Just 0.3 percent and 0.6 percent respectively.So, this exclusion in North America and Asia are minimal. The World Bank has also lifted, its decades long ban on financing nuclear project, which is important because World Bank can provide capital to fund the early stage of nuclear plant project or construction.And finally, on green finance. The EU, China and Japan have incorporated the nuclear power into their green taxonomies. So that means in some circumstances, nuclear project can be considered as green.Mayank Maheshwari: Now we have talked about AI and its need for power on this show. Nuclear power has a significant role to play in that equation, with hyperscalers paying premium for nuclear power. How does this support the investment case for nuclear utilities?Tim Chan: Yeah, so that depends on the region; and then different region we have different dilemmas. So, let's talk about U.S. first. In the U.S. we are seeing nuclear power is commanding a premium of approximately around $30-$50 per megawatt hour – above the market rate. So, when it comes to this price premium, we do think that will support the nuclear utilities in the U.S. And then in the report we highlighted a few names that we believe the current stock price haven't really priced in this premium in the market.And then for other regions, it depends on the region as well. So, Mayank, you have talked about Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia right now, given the lack of nuclear pipeline and then also the favorable economies of gas, we are not seeing that sort of premium yet in the Southeast Asia. We are also not seeing that premium in the Europe and in China as well, given that right now this sort of premium is mainly a U.S. exclusive situation. So dependent on the region, we are seeing different opportunities for nuclear utilities when it comes to the price premium.Mayank Maheshwari: Definitely Tim, I think the price premiums are dependent on how tight these power markets in each of the geographies are. But like, how does nuclear fit into broader energy mix alongside renewables and natural gas for you?Tim Chan: So, all these are really important. For nuclear power, investors really appreciate the clean and reliable, and for the 24x7 nature of the energy supply to support their operations and sustainability goals. And then nuclear is also important to bring the power additionality, which means nuclear is bringing truly new energy generation rather than simply utilizing a system or already planned capacity. We are seeing that sort of additionality in the new nuclear project and also the SMR in future as well.So, for natural gas, that is also important. As Mayank you have mentioned, natural gas money adds as a bridge field to provide flexibility to the grid. And then in the U.S., it is currently the primary near-term solution for powering AI and data center to increase the electricity supply due to its speed to the market and reliability. And natural gas is suspected to meet immediate demand, while longer term solutions like nuclear projects and also SMR are developed.And finally, renewable energy is also important. It represents the fastest growing and increasingly cost competitive energy source. They also dominate the new capacity additions as well. But for renewable energy, it also requires complimentary technology such as battery ESS to adjust intermittency issues.So, Mayank we have talked so much about nuclear, and back to you on natural gas. You are really bullish on natural gas. So how and where do you think are the best way to play it?Mayank Maheshwari: As you were kind of talking about the intersection and diffusion between nuclear, natural gas and the renewable markets, what you're seeing is that our bullishness on consumption of natural gas is basically all about how this diffusion plays out. Consumption on natural gas will rise much quicker than most fuels for the rest of the decade, if you think about numbers – making it more than just a transition fuel.Hence, Morgan Stanley research has a list of 75 equities globally to play the thematic of this diffusion, and it is happening in the power markets. These equities are part of the natural gas adoption and the powering AI thematic as well. So, these include the equipment producers on power, the gas pipeline players who are basically supporting the supply of natural gas to some of these pipelines. Hybrid power generation companies which have a good mix of renewables, natural gas, a bit of nuclear sometimes. And infrastructure providers for energy security.So, all these 75 stocks are effective playing at the intersection of all these three thematics that we are talking about as Morgan Stanley research. It is clear that nuclear renaissance, Tim, isn't just about reactors. It's about rethinking energy systems, sustainability, and geopolitics.Tim Chan: Yes, and the last decade will be defined by how we balance ambition with execution. Nuclear together with gas and renewables will be central to Asia's energy future. Mayank, thanks for taking the time to talk,Mayank Maheshwari: Great speaking to you, Tim.Tim Chan: And thanks for listening.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover DC's surprising new cooperation with Trump's immigration crackdown, major developments in detention facilities across multiple states, cartel drones at the border, Harvard's patent problem, nuclear energy breakthroughs, rising AI power demands, and a surge in U.S. military recruitment. From crime crackdowns to cutting-edge energy projects, today's brief packs in the key headlines you need to know heading into the weekend. DC Partners with Trump on Immigration Enforcement: Washington DC's police chief announces the city will now cooperate with ICE on arresting illegal immigrants, a sharp reversal from its sanctuary city stance. Trump allies celebrate the move as a model for nationwide enforcement, while debate continues over alleged manipulation of DC's crime statistics. Homeless Encampment Removal in DC: Heavy equipment is clearing dozens of tent sites under overpasses and in parks. Officials offer shelter and mental health services to displaced individuals, but critics warn the homeless population may simply relocate to nearby states. New Immigration Detention Facilities in Florida, Texas, and Louisiana: Governor Ron DeSantis unveils “Deportation Depot” in Florida, Texas prepares Fort Bliss to house 5,000 illegal immigrants, and Louisiana opens space in its state prison for 500 detainees alongside violent offenders — drawing sharp criticism from the ACLU. Cartel Drone Operations at the Border: DHS reports nearly 30,000 cartel-operated drone sightings in just six months, many flying at night to drop contraband or surveil U.S. defenses. Officials warn these drones could eventually target law enforcement or civilians. Trump Targets Harvard's Lucrative Patents: The administration demands a full accounting of Harvard patents and licenses developed with federal funds, citing a 1980 law requiring public benefit and U.S.-based manufacturing. The university has yet to respond. Small Modular Reactor Program Fast-Tracked: The Department of Energy selects 11 companies to build new nuclear plants within a year to meet surging energy demands, particularly from AI data centers. One Wyoming facility is projected to use more electricity than all homes in the state combined. U.S. Military Recruitment Surges Under Trump: All branches are ahead of schedule on enlistment goals, prompting the Army to add 10 new basic training units. Defense officials credit better pay, targeted support programs, and renewed interest under the current administration. Listener Question - Two Years of The Wright Report: Bryan reflects on memorable listener stories, from health breakthroughs and autism research to workplace insights and investment wins sparked by podcast coverage. He also previews an upcoming AI tool for searching past transcripts. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: DC immigration enforcement, Trump crime crackdown, homeless encampment removal DC, Florida Deportation Depot, Fort Bliss migrant detention, Louisiana state prison detainees, cartel drones Mexico border, Harvard federal patent law, small modular reactors SMR, AI data center energy use, U.S. military recruitment surge, Wright Report two year anniversary

Foreign nations consider F-35 alternatives such as the Typhoon and FCAS, Denver Airport studies the use of a small modular reactor, Astronaut Jim Lovell passed, Senate bill blocks ATC privatization, NTSB hearings highlighted, and the Regional Airline Association calls for accredited flight training programs to be recognized as professional degrees. Aviation News Spain rules out F-35 order, prioritizes Eurofighter and FCAS The Spanish Ministry of Defense has decided to “prioritize investment in European industry” and will consider the Eurofighter Typhoon or the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) over the Lockheed Martin F-35. The Spanish government wants to replace its aging fleet of McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets and AV-8B Harrier II aircraft. Previously, the F-35 was considered a leading candidate. Talks with Lockheed Martin are now suspended. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, courtesy F35.com. Other potential foreign F-35 customers, including Canada and Portugal, have signaled doubts about joining the American-led program amid geopolitical strain with the Trump administration. Swiss lawmakers are calling for the government to cancel a $9.1 billion order for Lockheed Martin's F-35 stealth fighter. Denver to look at nuclear option for power at Denver International Airport The Denver airport (DIA) “issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to study the feasibility of building a small modular (nuclear) reactor (SMR) on the DEN campus. The study is part of DEN's overall efforts to meet future clean energy demands.” A new Colorado law reclassifies nuclear energy as a clean energy resource. See the press release: DEN to Pursue More Alternative Energy Options for Future Needs and A nuclear reactor at the Denver airport? Here's what you need to know. Professor Thomas Albrecht, director of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Center at the Colorado School of Mines, said, "The idea, with many of the small modular reactors, is you can drive them up on a semi. put them down on a concrete pad and plug them in, and they just go. The idea of many of these designs is you could keep adding them." The study will cost up to $1.25 million and is expected to take between 6-12 months to complete, at which time DEN, along with its partners, will evaluate the findings and determine next steps. NASA Administrator Reflects on Passing of Astronaut Jim Lovell Astronaut James A. Lovell was a pioneering NASA astronaut best known as the commander of Apollo 13 and as one of the first humans to orbit the Moon, having flown a total of four space missions—Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13—more than any astronaut in NASA's early years. Astronaut James A. Lovell, NASA. Gemini 7 (1965): Set an endurance record of nearly 14 days in orbit and accomplished the first rendezvous of two manned spacecraft, a vital maneuver for Moon missions. Gemini 12 (1966): Commanded the final Gemini mission, featured Buzz Aldrin as pilot, and executed complex extravehicular activities, closing the Gemini program successfully. Apollo 8 (1968): Served as Command Module Pilot for the first crewed mission to leave Earth's orbit and enter lunar orbit, making him and his crewmates the first humans to orbit the Moon and see its far side. Apollo 13 (1970): Commanded the ill-fated lunar mission that suffered a catastrophic explosion en route, forcing a dramatic turnaround and Moon flyby. His leadership in crisis turned it into an inspirational story of survival; Lovell and his crew made it back safely, an event celebrated worldwide and dramatized in the 1995 film "Apollo 13". See Former Astronaut James A. Lovell - NASA and EAA's Jack Pelton on the Death of Astronaut Jim Lovell. Senate ATC modernization funding bill blocks privatization The Senate Appropriations Committee bill to fund the Department of Transportation, including the FAA, in 2026 seeks to block any attempts to privatize the U.S. air traffic control system.

Prezes Orlen Synthos Green Energy alarmuje: Polska potrzebuje małych reaktorów jądrowych, by uniknąć energetycznej katastrofy. Czas na decyzje polityczne. Polska energia w impasieJesteśmy naprawdę w katastrofalnym miejscu. Polska energia jest dziś najdroższa na świecie – mówi Rafał Kasprów, w rozmowie na antenie Radia Wnet.Jego propozycją jest budowa floty małych reaktorów jądrowych SMR (Small Modular Reactors) jako remedium na zbliżający się blackout.Rozmówca Katarzyny Adamiak przypomina, że luka energetyczna w Polsce będzie rosnąć – w 2035 roku może sięgnąć nawet 20 GW. Powodem jest likwidacja starych bloków węglowych, wzrost zużycia energii przez elektromobilność, pompy ciepła i centra danych. Polska potrzebuje źródeł, które działają 24/7. Nie wystarczą wiatraki i fotowoltaika – podkreśla.Rafał Kasprów zaznacza, że SMR-y to technologia rozwijana od dekad.To nie są eksperymenty, tylko reaktory znane i eksploatowane – m.in. w Japonii czy Szwajcarii. Obecnie budowane są w Kanadzie, zgodnie z harmonogramem.Mowa o technologii BWRX-300 rozwijanej przez amerykańsko-japoński duet GE Hitachi. Gość Poranka Wnet podkreśla, że Polska już dziś dysponuje zapleczem przemysłowym: we Wrocławiu i Elblągu powstają turbiny i generatory, które mogłyby zasilać właśnie tę technologię.Polityka w cieniu energii jądrowejZdaniem prezesa Orlen Synthos Green Energy problem leży w politycznych decyzjach:Rząd od półtora roku nie podejmuje decyzji. Brakuje strategii dla SMR-ów, brakuje ich w dokumentach rządowych. Jego zdaniem bez jednoznacznego wpisania projektu do polityki energetycznej państwa, urzędy nie będą pracować nad licencjami czy środowiskowymi zgodami. Sytuację komplikuje chaos polityczny i tarcia między resortami. Rafał Kasprów przyznaje, że spotkał się raz z ministrem energii Miłoszem Motyką, ale konkretów brak. Europa się budzi – a Polska?Europa, choć długo sceptyczna wobec atomu, zmienia kurs. Francja buduje nowe reaktory, Szwecja inwestuje w atom, Czechy i Słowacja uruchamiają nowe jednostki. Słowacy 100 km od naszej granicy podłączyli dwa nowe bloki. A u nas? Zamiast działać, mnożymy mity – zauważa Rafał Kasprów.Dostęp do wiedzy jest dziś prostszy niż kiedykolwiek. AI, eksperci, dokumentacja – wszystko da się sprawdzić. Ale ktoś musi chcieć działać – podsumowuje.Orlen Synthos Green Energy planuje zwrócić się do rządu o tzw. kontrakty różnicowe – kluczowy mechanizm wsparcia inwestycji w UE. Ale do tego potrzeba politycznej woli i zapisu w dokumentach.

F1 Racing and the markets. Earnings, economics and the Fed. The casino - zero date options. Thomas Thornton, Hedge Fund Telemetry is this week's guest. NEW! DOWNLOAD THE AI GENERATED SHOW NOTES (Guest Segment)     Stay Updated Thomas Thornton is a former portfolio manager, senior trader, and technical analyst with Level Global Investors and Galileo Capital. Tom has written a daily market note for a select group of hedge fund managers for years and now has offered it for all investors with Hedge Fund Telemetry. His long term focus on sentiment indicators borders on the obsessive. Our growing team at Hedge Fund Telemetry is comprised of current and former buy and sell side individuals. Hedge Fund Telemetry was first conceived with inspiration from Tom's lifelong passion following Formula 1 racing. In the early 90's, Formula 1 teams started to equip cars with sensors on every imaginable component and data was relayed wirelessly through telemetry to the pits to analyze and then instructions from the pits were relayed back to the driver so he could make changes to find the optimal balance for the car. It has always been the same way for Tom, as a senior trader at his hedge fund, he would get in early, collect data from many sources, analyze that data, and then communicate information out to his firm so his team could properly balance the firm's portfolio. It's now our goal to relay that same type of information so that one can also gain that edge.

Nuclear energy lawyer Vince Zabielski, partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, has advised on numerous nuclear energy projects across the world, including the UAE nuclear new-build programme as well as those in Turkey, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom.A mechanical engineer before moving into law, he tells host Alex Hunt about the haircut that launched his career in nuclear, his switch to the law, and explains the important role played by nuclear energy lawyers which is, he says, essentially "problem solving", for example finding a path forward on risk allocation to allow what are giant projects to go ahead.Based in Pillsbury's London office, Zabielski talks about the recent announcements from the UK about Sizewell C funding and explains the benefits of the Regulated Asset Base financing system which is being used there, rather than the Contracts for Difference system used at the Hinkley Point C project and explains why he hopes the RAB system will be adopted elsewhere in Europe.He also talks about the challenge ahead to meet the ambitious goals for future nuclear energy capacity, including how regulators can help. And he explains why he'd encourage young people to consider a career in nuclear power.Also in this episode, in the news round-up, Claire Maden reports on the UK Government taking the Final Investment Decision on Sizewell C - which will feature two EDF EPRs with a capacity of 3.2GW - and the finalising of the project shareholdings. She also outlines the key findings of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's Small Modular Reactor Dashboard, which has identified 127 different SMR designs around the world.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsSizewell C gets final go-ahead decisionThere are now 127 different SMR designs, finds NEA reportThe NEA SMR Digital DashboardPillsbury: Vince ZabielskiEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Isabelle Boemeke, author of the forthcoming book, “Rad Future: The Untold Story of Nuclear Electricity and How It Will Save the World.” The book will be published on August 12 and is available for preorder here. Isabelle is a passionate advocate for nuclear energy and is also the creator of Isodope, a social media persona she uses to engage and educate the public about the benefits of nuclear power. Isabelle was involved in pushing to save the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility and has visited nuclear sites around the world. We were thrilled to hear her fresh and insightful perspectives. In our conversation, we explore nuclear energy's rapid shift in public perception and the surge in investment and media attention from just three years ago to today. We discuss the role of advocacy in changing narratives, generational differences in attitudes toward nuclear, and the decline of the organized anti-nuclear movement. Isabelle shares her perspective on international attitudes toward nuclear, the origin of Isodope and her use of social media as an educational tool, the gender gap in nuclear support, and her personal background and journey to becoming curious about nuclear energy. We touch on the nuclear industry's reception to Isabelle, including the strong support she's received from women in the field. She shares her strategy for communicating complex nuclear topics to a broader audience, the key risks facing the nuclear renaissance, and the next major hurdles the industry must overcome, particularly challenges around financing and project management. We cover public awareness of SMRs compared to large-scale nuclear, community attitudes toward nuclear, and the strong local support Isabelle has seen near existing plants. Isabelle discusses her continued focus on nuclear for the next few years, where her interests may take her in the future, her 10-year outlook for energy and climate, and more. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that broader U.S. equity markets continue to hit new all-time highs. A major driver of broader markets so far this year has been euphoria surrounding AI/Tech equities and the significant capital spending to support data centers. “Meme stock mania” seems to be rearing its head again and could be an early signal of a frothy equity market. On the energy equity front, he highlighted that both HAL and SLB have reported Q2 results and, for the most part, are guiding towards a weaker 2H25 market (especially NAM oil service pricing). Most oil service investors were hopeful Q2 would be the last quarter for downward 2025 revisions, which could be a reason why oil service stocks aren't reacting to negative downward 2025 EPS revisions. Electric Utilities are up ~13% this year and continue to be viewed as “growth” stocks. The PJM Capacity Auction posted results after the close, with pricing coming in at ~$330/mw versus last year's print of ~$270/mw. A handful of PJM exposed IPPs were up modestly after the close on the news. Mike wrapped by noting that SMR equities are up on average ~175% YTD and continue to be electricity darlings. He also flagged today's news out of Japan that Kansai Electric is reportedly exploring a plan to build the country's first nuclear plant since the Fukushima disaster in 2011. Brett Rampal peppered in his nuclear perspective and questions to the discussion. We are excited to continue following Isabelle's activities as a positive “influencer” for nuclear and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Our best to you all!

I'm Paul Rodden, and this is Part 2 of our deep-dive series on building the U.S. hydrogen economy by 2035.In Part 1, we broke down the top technologies: SMR with CCS, methane pyrolysis, natural hydrogen, and nuclear hydrogen. Now in Part 2, we answer the critical question: Where will the U.S. hydrogen economy take root?

We have an unusual episode today. One, because of its length (1 hour 40 minutes), and two, because I'm the guest. Joined by Aidan Morrison as acting host, I talk about a topic of intense interest to me: the Darlington SMR project in Ontario, Canada. I've been critical of this SMR project, which recently received its final investment decision, by calling for a pivot to CANDU reactors at the site.I use this episode to break down all my reasons for being critical, and to concede ground to this bold SMR project where earned. This is not the first place I've shared my reasoning (media interview here, LinkedIn post there), but it is the most in-depth.If you have time to listen to the full thing, I promise you will leave quite knowledgeable about the ambitious and capable Ontario nuclear sector, which I've studied and engaged with for years.Prompting this episode was the OPG's final investment decision on the SMR and the revelation of its eye-watering cost estimates. I break down the $4.5 billion price tag for the first unit, the expected learning that will take place, and share why this represents not just a technical and economic challenge, but a strategic mistake that could undermine Canada's competitive advantage in nuclear power. From the massive excavation challenges of burying a reactor ten stories underground to the national security risks of abandoning proven CANDU technology for American designs, I hope to share some of the hard truths behind the SMR hype.Read extended shownotes on Substack.Watch now on YouTube.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us for a longer-format discussion on and the macro and micro themes that are continuing to create volatility in the general equities, bonds, and commodities market, and how he has been using these moves to position in oil, copper, nuclear, uranium, and rare earths stocks.   We start off reviewing themes touched upon in our prior discussion where Nick reiterated his stance that general US equity markets would rebound, and that we are not seeing macroeconomic data that is signaling a dive into an immediate recession or depression.  He outlines how there has been improved GDP estimates for Q2 over Q1 and expects that trend to continue.  We've seen inflation ticking up modestly on the back of stronger commodities prices and when that has been paired with the outperformance of the industrials sector, these foreshadow more economic expansion and growth on tap for later in this year, albeit, after a potential summer slowdown.  We talk how the markets so overreacted in the tariff tantrums a couple of months ago, and that despite the pause in the reciprocal tariffs coming off in 2 weeks, that the market is not being as reactionary and has had steady progress to the upside.     Nick remains bullish on oil & gas, copper, nuclear, uranium, and rare earth stocks because is anticipated a continued reflationary trade across the commodities complex.  for fundamental reasons as well as recent pricing strength momentum.  He noted again playing domestic copper and base metals production through companies like Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX); he was also active last year and early this year putting capital to work in junior copper exploration companies.   Shifting over to all the macro tailwinds in the nuclear and uranium sector, we discuss the 4 new Trump administration executive orders on the nuclear industry, the new reactor builds announced in New York, Great Britain, the capital being raised by SMR companies including Bill Gates TerraPower, and the further announcements from large technology companies like Meta that is going to partner with Constellation to source more nuclear power to fuel their digital futures.  Nick outlines that while small modular reactor stocks like NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), Nano Nuclear Energy Inc (NYSE: NNE), and Oklo Inc (NYSE: OKLO) have surged, that he believes it will be the companies that can supply the market with the necessary nuclear fuel, uranium, that he is most constructive on for future value appreciation.    He mentioned using the sector pullback a couple of months back to add to his position in the junior uranium mining ETF (URNJ) and that he is maintaining positions in Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) (NYSE American: UUUU) and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN), while researching companies like IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) and Homeland Uranium Corp. (TSXV: HLU) (OTCQB: HLUCF) as domestic North American companies that can benefit from the coming price response to the clear supply/demand imbalances in the market.   The discussion on Energy Fuels, also brings in their exposure to producing rare earths, and how this is still a part of the commodities sector that he remains bullish on moving forward.  Nick reminds listeners of one of the ways he has been playing rare earths recycling through a position in CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF), and how this position has been performing quite well over the last few months.   Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing

This week, we return to nuclear power. Specifically, nuclear construction and “learning curves.” It is intuitive that doing something over and over makes you better at it. In industry, this means driving down costs and timelines and boosting efficiencies. In many industries, the truth of learning curves is readily apparent. However, in Western nuclear construction it has been largely absent for decades. Robbie Stewart, CTO of Alva Energy, joins me to dissect why the nuclear industry struggles with what other industries take for granted, and highlight a few cases in nuclear that managed to buck this trend. From France's standardized reactor fleet to China's recent AP1000 acceleration, we explore the prerequisites for nuclear construction learning and why it takes more than just good engineering.We discuss:Wright's Law and its application (or misapplication) to nuclear constructionWhy nuclear is fundamentally different from factory-floor manufacturingThe three categories of nuclear learning: fixing mismanagement, technology insertion, and construction optimizationStatistical analysis of what drives successful learning rates in nuclear programsFrance's P4 series and South Korea's OPR-1000 as learning success storiesChina's dramatic improvements in AP1000 construction times through supply chain masteryThe critical role of integrated project management and utility ownershipPrerequisites for learning: standardized design, sequential builds, and institutional commitmentWhy inter-site learning is harder than intra-site learningThe developer model as a potential solution for geographic learning constraintsOntario's SMR program as a test case for modern nuclear learningRead extended shownotes on Substack

In this special episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down the June 17 Reuters article, “Trump Tax Bill Risks Exodus of Clean Hydrogen Investment.”

Tom welcomes back Justin Huhn for a in-depth discussion about the Uranium market and the potential risks if there's a nuclear weapon exchange in the conflict between Israel and Iran. They discusses how nuclear powers handle enrichment and how the Uranium fuel cycle operates. Justin sees potential for growth in the Uranium market due to an increase in SMR demand and global efforts towards sustainable energy sources. He also warns against a possible overbought situation in the short term but emphasizes the importance of watching the physical market dynamics and Sprott's activities to spot potential buying opportunities.

In today's podcast we're going to explore the UK government's latest announcement to invest vast sums of public cash in the nuclear industry.The latest spending review included £14.2bn to kickstart the Sizewell C plant and £2.5bn to underpin ongoing research into fusion technology. But crucially, it also outlined plans to pump £2.5bn into Small Modular Reactor development – something that I think is perhaps one of the most ambitious – and transformational announcements in the UK's energy history.And it's this announcement that I really want to focus on today.But it is also clear that after decades of hesitation, the UK government – through it's public energy business Great British Nuclear part of GB Energy - has committed to a bold new era of nuclear power, And its backing it with public cash. So what does this actually mean in practice? What is an SMR – and why is the government betting on them to power millions of homes and secure the nation's energy future? How do these small, factory-built reactors compare to the large-scale nuclear power plants like Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C? And critically – can we really deliver this bold vision on time, on budget, and with the skilled workforce we need?Well to unpack all of this – and help make sense of the opportunities and challenges ahead – I'm joined once again on the Infrastructure Podcast by Tim Stone, Non-Executive Director, Great British Nuclear and former chair of the Nuclear Industry Association, the body at the heart of this once-in-a-generation transformation and my go to mind for all things nuclear.ResourcesGovernment press release on SMRsRolls Royce SMR press release Government press release on Sizewell CGreat British Energy - NuclearNuclear Industry Association release on nuclear investment

Nuclear power is experiencing a notable revival in policy circles. The Trump administration has moved quickly on this front, drafting executive orders to accelerate plant construction, directing the Pentagon to explore reactor installations on military bases, and reshaping the regulatory landscape. A recent $900 million solicitation for small modular reactors (SMRs) has been modified to emphasize technical merit and streamline deployment.But can America's nuclear renaissance actually deliver? Traditional nuclear plants remain staggeringly expensive—the recent Vogtle reactors in Georgia arrived seven years late and $35 billion over budget (the kind of numbers that make even venture capitalists nervous). A dozen startups are betting smaller, modular designs can slash costs and deployment times, but they face the triple threat of regulatory uncertainty, NIMBY resistance, and an energy market still obsessed with quarterly returns. Yet the alignment of energy security needs, climate goals, and now AI's voracious power requirements creates a potential inflection point for nuclear technology.Joining us to explore these questions are Ed Petit de Mange, Director of Fuel Recycling at Oklo, whose next-generation microreactors can operate on recycled nuclear fuel; Patrick O'Brien, Director of Government Affairs at Holtec International, bringing decades of industry experience to the SMR revolution, Kathleen Nelson Romans, Head of Commercial Development at Aalo Atomics, whose compact reactors aim to serve rapidly deployable off-grid and microgrid applications, and Emmet Penney, energy writer and Senior Fellow at FAI, who provides critical context on nuclear's role in our energy transition.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we explore two major hydrogen developments reshaping the global energy landscape.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we unpack the Forbes article “What Happened to the Hydrogen Economy?” by Robert Rapier and break down the five reasons hydrogen hasn't revolutionized the energy sector—yet.From the broken promises of Bush-era policy to the economics of modern hydrogen production, we explore what went wrong, and more importantly, what's next.We spotlight low-cost, low-carbon intensity (CI) hydrogen production methods—steam methane reforming (SMR) with carbon capture, natural hydrogen, and methane pyrolysis—that could finally build a demand-driven U.S. hydrogen economy.We also reveal why the repeal of the Section 45V tax credit might actually push the industry forward and how the Midwest could emerge as the next hydrogen hub by powering ammonia production with natural hydrogen at $0.50–$1/kg.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Michael Mische, Associate Professor of Management at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. Michael joined the USC faculty in 1997 and also serves as CEO and a Managing Member of the Synergy Consulting Group. At Marshall, he leads and coordinates the school's undergraduate and graduate curricula in management consulting. Our interest in connecting with Michael was sparked by his recent report, “A Study of California Gasoline Prices” (linked here). The study presents a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the persistently high retail gasoline prices in California. We were thrilled to explore the findings of the report and hear Michael's broader perspective on California's energy and power landscape. In our discussion, we cover the main themes of Michael's report, beginning with his long-standing interest in the oil and gas industry dating back to the 1973 Arab oil embargo. We explore the study's key finding that there is no evidence of price manipulation or gouging by refiners, and Michael's conclusion that California's high gasoline prices are a direct result of deliberate policy choices. Michael explains why policymakers pursue these strategies, why Californians tolerate higher energy costs, and how these policies create economic strain for lower income residents. We cover the broader economic impact of California energy policies, including the departure of more than 360 major companies since 2018, the national security risks posed by refinery closures that supply a significant share of aviation fuel and diesel to military operations in California, Arizona, and Nevada, how the push for renewable energy has become a primary driver of rising energy costs, and the underlying economics of the refining industry. We discuss the broader effects of refinery shutdowns on infrastructure like roads and airports, California's increasing dependence on foreign oil, the potential for in-state production growth, proposed policy solutions, the risks of state-run refinery models, how Middle Eastern investors are increasingly targeting U.S. real assets and innovation sectors, and more. We greatly appreciate Michael joining and sharing his expertise and insights with us all. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that broader U.S. equities surged ~2.0% on Tuesday, largely driven by news that President Trump would be extending the deadline on EU tariff increases from June 1 to July 9. Equity markets also rose due to the unexpectedly high m/m increase in May Consumer Confidence. On the bond market front, 10-year and 30-year U.S. bond yields traded lower by 8-10bps, mostly due to a plunge in Japanese bond yields despite optimistic news on the EU tariff front and Consumer Confidence. In commodities, WTI price pulled back ~$1/bbl (~$61/bbl) on growing concern that OPEC+ will raise July oil production by another ~0.4mmbpd. Iranian nuclear talks underway in Rome have sparked cautious optimism for a breakthrough, which might prove to be another “marginal” headwind for crude prices. On the U.S. policy front, Mike highlighted last week's passage of a House Tax Bill which surprisingly gutted renewable/solar subsidies and sent solar equities plunging. Passage through the Senate isn't guaranteed and could potentially extend/reverse the timeline on some of the solar subsidies. On the electricity front, it was a great week for nuclear and SMR equities (handful of SMR equities up ~40%) following four nuclear-focused Executive Orders from the Trump Administration. He also pointed out the recent eye-popping MISO Summer Capacity Auction (~$666/mw) versus last year's auction price (~$30/mw) which will lead to much higher utility bills. He closed by highlighting California's current refinery capacity of ~1.6mmbpd and how the two most recent refinery closure announcements (tota

This week, our guest is Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, a Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa, a Special Advisor to the Business Council of Canada, and a Research Advisor to the Indigenous Resource Network. Heather has twenty years of experience in Indigenous, Arctic and resource development and governance. She has published on Indigenous economic and resource development, energy security, and politics. Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Heather: Does Canada have defense and security issues in the north? Politicians, including our Prime Minister, support Arctic export ports—do you expect to see new export corridors to the north? The Russians ship LNG from the Arctic, so why not Canada? What are your concerns about Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate policy, as outlined in his Liberal leadership and election platforms? What are the issues with Canada's greenwashing rules that were made law about one year ago? How would you recommend Canada move forward with speeding up the development of large projects—should the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69) be scrapped or just modified? What are the prospects for deploying small or micro nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the north? What does the future hold for Indigenous equity participation in major projects? Content referenced in this podcast:Northern Corridors: Hype or Hope?

In this episode of Sexy Marriage Radio, we explore the complexities of relationships, focusing on the concept of regressions and how they affect emotional functioning. We discuss the different types of regressions, the impact of stress, and the contagious nature of regression in relationships. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and understanding one's emotional state to improve relationship dynamics. Takeaways Understanding regressions can empower individuals in relationships. Acute regressions are short-lived but impactful. Steady state regressions can go unnoticed and affect daily functioning. Stressful life events can trigger regressions. Recognizing triggers is crucial for managing regressions. The emotional state of one partner can influence the other. Communication is key to navigating regressions in relationships. Self-awareness helps in identifying personal regressions. High meaning situations can exacerbate emotional challenges. Assuming one is regressed until proven otherwise can lead to better self-management. Enjoy the show!

C dans l'air du 3 mai 2025 - Panne d'électricité géante : qui est responsable ?Deux pays entièrement plongés dans le noir. Une panne massive d'électricité a touché l'Espagne et le Portugal il y a quelques jours, et l'heure est à la recherche de responsables. Si le gouvernement portugais a écarté l'hypothèse d'une cyberattaque, rien ne permet de conclure sur ce qu'il s'est produit à ce stade. La situation électrique particulière de l'Espagne est toutefois pointée du doigt, avec beaucoup de renouvelables et une faible interconnexion au continent européen.Les répercussions ont elles été internationales. Le trafic aérien a été perturbé, comme les transports publics et les soins dans les hôpitaux. La panne a été telle que d'autres pays en ont subi les conséquences. Au Maroc les services internet d'Orange ont été perturbés ; au Groenland, les moyens de communication (téléphone, SMS, internet) ont été coupés, le secteur étant en partie géré depuis l'Espagne.Selon l'avis des experts, une telle coupure n'aurait pas pu se produire en France, le paysage étant différent, avec des interconnexions importantes avec nos voisins européens. Mais le blackout subi dans la péninsule ibérique rouvre le débat sur les centrales nucléaires alors que Madrid prône leur fermeture. Emmmanuel Macron a lui choisi de relancer le secteur : Flamanville s'apprête à redémarrer (malgré de nombreux retards et le gouffre financier qui va avec) et la filière des petits réacteurs (SMR) est encouragée. La hausse des prix est toutefois le risque, elle ne cesse d'alimenter le débat politique.Pendant ce temps, certains villages se battent en France contre l'installation de nouvelles éoliennes sur leur territoire. À Chenevelle, dans la Vienne, 80% de la population s'est dite contre mais l'entreprise Volkswind porte un recours contre ce résultat. C dans l'air est allé sur place. Alors, quelle est la cause de l 'énorme panne qui a touché l'Espagne et le Portugal ? Où en est-on du nucléaire en France ? Le secteur de l'éolien s'assoit-il sur la volonté des populations locales ?

In this episode, we explore the complex dynamics of wanting to be wanted in relationships, emphasizing the universal nature of this desire. What's the difference between wanting and needing? How does this play out in the context of intimacy and connection? Our conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their own desires and the role they play in their relationships, ultimately advocating for a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner. Takeaways Wanting to be wanted is a fundamental human desire. There is a difference between wanting and needing in relationships. Self-validation is crucial for healthy relationships. Understanding your own desires can improve connection with your partner. The dynamics of wanting play out in both sexual and emotional contexts. Blame can hinder the ability to connect with a partner. Recognizing the role of personal responsibility in relationship dilemmas is essential. Creating something worth wanting involves self-awareness and growth. The pressure of wanting can be alleviated through self-reflection.
