00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>It's seven oh six. If it's about KRC detalk station.

2
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Very happy Tuesday to you back in studio where we're

3
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>liking to be. Bring him accoun from the Hudson Institute,

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 1>where he is Senior Fellow and Director of Initiative on

5
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>American Energy Security. He is also the well host of

6
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the podcast Charged Conversations, which are not surprising given the name,

7
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>is also about energy policy, and he was just recently

8
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, d C. Where he's going back to provide

9
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>testimony h and a hearing on powering America's future unleasing

10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>American energy. Brigham Accowan, it's always a pleasure to have

11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>you in the studio, and you can find Hudson Institute

12
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>online at Hudson dot org.

13
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>So he just told me off air you were a

14
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>helicopter pilot. Yeah, fixed wing and rotary wang. Things started

15
00:00:58.799 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and you fly it.

16
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>And flew out of DC just shortly before the collision.

17
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh I did, very sad. I've actually flown that exact

18
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>same route in a Navy H sixty we call them seahawks,

19
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Army calls in black hawks. Same same That's very congested airspace.

20
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I left DC about thirty forty five minutes

21
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>before that horrible crash, you know, my lord different American

22
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>CRJ and learned about it upon landing back here in

23
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati last week.

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Terrible kind of I bet you had a strange feeling

25
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>fall over you when you realize how close you were

26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>to you know, maybe having been impacted by it, or

27
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>heaven forbid, having been in the airplane that got run

28
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>into by the helicopter. Yeah, it's really tragic.

29
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Brian, through twenty plus years of military flying,

30
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I've come close a couple of times in different ways.

31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's this big sky, little airplane theory. You know,

32
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>they come together despite all this airspace. It's like attractive magnets.

33
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>D C is one of the most congested airspaces around

34
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>the country, and at Washington Reagan International Airport, they keep

35
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>expanding it more and more flights because every congressman wants

36
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a direct flight home. Frankly, there are too many airplanes

37
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>coming in and out of there. The FAA is underfunded,

38
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the air traffic controllers overworked. Were three thousand plus short

39
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>of those folks.

40
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the things that really really concerned me

41
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to find out after the accident, how understaffed we are

42
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>with the air traffic controllers. Yeah, we really are.

43
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>And it dates back to two twenty twenty and COVID

44
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>and then they just didn't ramp back up. And attrition

45
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>is pretty high depending on what sector you're working. New

46
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>York area has a sixty percent wash out rate within

47
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>three years. And some of it's frankly cultural, it's intentional. Really, yeah,

48
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, the unions run the contracts. By the way,

49
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they just extended their collect bargaining agreement for five years

50
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 2>right before Biden left office. You know, many good working,

51
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>hard working controllers. Maybe some of them are listening to

52
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the program. But there are a couple places around the

53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>country where there are problems and they have sick outs.

54
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 2>They hey, Brian, you call out sick, I'll take your shift,

55
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll get over time and then I'll reciprocate later. And

56
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>you bring too many new controllers in and they don't

57
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>last very long. So we got to fix these things.

58
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 2>And the infrastructure it's old, it's broken down. We have

59
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>flooding in the basements of some of these places. We

60
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>have communications going down. The notice to airman went down

61
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 2>the other day. That caused a big problem. Of course,

62
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the Biden administration renamed that to some gender neutral term

63
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember, but expect that to come back.

64
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Well that's you know, I always expressed my disdain generally

65
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>for flying, just for a multitude of reasons, none of

66
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>which ever really had anything to do with safety. It

67
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like I didn't want to get on an airplane

68
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>because I was worried about a terrorist, But I just

69
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't like being on an airplane because you're stuck in there.

70
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 1>You got to get there a couple hours advance, and

71
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>with the luggage issues and the body cavity search from

72
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the TSA and you know, all that stuff, it's just

73
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>makes flying a truly unenjoyable experience for me. But now

74
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>with all this talk and all the revelations that have

75
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>shown up after this horrific collision, now I feel I'm

76
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>concerned for my safety that coupled with doors flying off

77
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of Boeing aircraft.

78
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think and Sean Dusky, the Secretary of Transportation,

79
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>who I know and I've had the opportunity to work with,

80
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>is a great person. And you know, he just put

81
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>out an email to the DOT team, I think two

82
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>days ago it said, you know, hey, folks, this is tragic.

83
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's the deal. If everything is a priority, nothing's a priority.

84
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>We're a safety organization. We're not an environmental organization. We're

85
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>not a DEI organization.

86
00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 1>It's like the military. Same thing.

87
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to get back to our core mission. And if

88
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you are competent, if you are trainable, if you are smart,

89
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>we want you to work here. But stop the madness

90
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna stop celebrating every you know thing that

91
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>comes up every different week and concentrate on safety and

92
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>moving people around the country. We have to do both

93
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>of those two things, move people safely period.

94
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, I would argue, or at least I have the impression,

95
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>given the that safety and people's lives are at stake

96
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 1>when you're doing your job as an air traffic controller,

97
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that that will be a high stress job. Yeah, is it?

98
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean these it perceived by most people. Do they

99
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 1>feel high stress? Is that one of the reasons perhaps

100
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 1>for the burnout rate or is there something more nefarious

101
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>as you seem to suggest earlier. Well, I think you know,

102
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of different things. There are.

103
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a culture there somewhat brought on by the high

104
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>stress that people face. So it really depends on where

105
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>you are, right, if you're working New York Center or

106
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, approach that's very different from you know, hanging

107
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>out at a county airport in India.

108
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, yeah, but.

109
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, we have to change the way we're doing business.

110
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>We still have floppy drives. And I don't mean the

111
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean the five and a quarter you know,

112
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>hard drives. I mean the big floppy drives that look

113
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>like records. They still have those for some of the

114
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>computer systems. It is are you kidding me? No, that's

115
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 2>first generation kind of floppy drive, it really is. And

116
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>so when the system goes down, you know how we

117
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>can be the most technologically advanced country in the world

118
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>and yet some not all, but some of our systems

119
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>are so antiquated. And this administration is going to address that.

120
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 2>They're going to fix this because it's unacceptable.

121
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>It is what is it run on? MS dosh?

122
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, it's it's either Cobra or Cobolt

123
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>or one of those things that you know from forty

124
00:06:59.560 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 2>years ago.

125
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you people even still know how to program? At

126
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>work on those and those legacy systems. Quite often you

127
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>lose the skill sets necessary to even you know band

128
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Aid fix them if they require it.

129
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>You do and when anybody who works it or as

130
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>an executive a company will tell you too. Once you

131
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>have a legacy system that can't be patched, you have

132
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>a wide open door to cybercrimins and everything else.

133
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Hadder Dave had Ter talks about that every week. It's

134
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>like when they phased out Microsoft XL, they are no

135
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>longer going to be offering security patches. Nefarious characters out

136
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 1>there in the world know that idiots still are using

137
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that old operating system. They figure out all kinds of

138
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>holes that still exist in them because they're not being patched.

139
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to a cyber attack.

140
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So you know there's a lot to be done

141
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>across the board, and that's just one part of government. Also,

142
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 2>you know it usually takes years for the NTSB and

143
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 2>others to come up with what happened. We've been promised

144
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>answers in thirty days, so we'll see you know we will.

145
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for your service to our country. I

146
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>learned something about you every time you come on the

147
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>program Copter Pilot for the Navy and again Charge Conversations.

148
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>You can find his podcast regularly before we and I

149
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>want to we'll do another break coming up here. We

150
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 1>only have a minute left, So I wanted to ask

151
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 1>you because he is also in addition to everything else

152
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>he does, he's a professor at Miami University, which we

153
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 1>brought up. And you'll be teaching graduate level energy policy

154
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>at Miami University this coming up.

155
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we just started last week. It's a grad and

156
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>senior energy policy capstone. I'm really excited to be teaching

157
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>it again. And the class maxed out again, which I

158
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>guess is.

159
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>A good thing.

160
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it just means it's a good thing. Maybe it

161
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>just means I'm an easy greater Brian. I don't know,

162
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll see.

163
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's probably the case. I think you

164
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>have the level of you have an expectation for a

165
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>level of excellence, and there's some superior students at Miami University,

166
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and most notably when you get to the graduate level,

167
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and of course like that, you're surrounded by some intelligent

168
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>kids or young people or well compared to me anyway.

169
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But before we break here, I wanted you to repeat

170
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 1>for my listeners what you have encountered since the November

171
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>election during your teaching at Miami University.

172
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's amazing how many students come out, and I

173
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.799
<v Speaker 2>realized that many more of them are conservatives. And look

174
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 2>from my perspective, and I tell all of the students, says,

175
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't really care what you believe in This class

176
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>is about grading how you can articulate it, and how

177
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>you can back up your argument. Right, you want to

178
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>be left, great, be left, You want to be right,

179
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 2>be right. But I've seen more and more people come

180
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.919
<v Speaker 2>out and say, you know, hey, you know this green

181
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>energy thing doesn't work, and that's a new one.

182
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, and it's not that they weren't in the classroom before.

183
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just that they didn't want to get shouted down

184
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.519
<v Speaker 1>by a bunch of Greta thunbergs. I mean, the messaging

185
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>has always been there. And I talked about this earlier.

186
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.399
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of the polling reflected that maybe

187
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Trump wasn't going to do quite as good as he

188
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>ultimately did against Kamala Harris. Because you know, somebody calls

189
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 1>me up and asks me a questions I'm not going

190
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to answer. I'm say now, I don't want to participate

191
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 1>and hang out. Many people lied and said they didn't

192
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like Trump and actually did, but there were a lot

193
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 1>of pro Trump supporters out in the world who just

194
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 1>kept their mouths shuts for fear of getting you know,

195
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 1>demon eyes, lambasted or otherwise yelled at by the crazies

196
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 1>and social media. Amen. They're out there, and apparently they're

197
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>in college as well. Mart Briga, mcdaland from Hudson Institute.

198
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about his testimony. He's off the DC the

199
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>talk energy policy. We'll talk. We'll learn from him what

200
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the subject matter will be, in which direction he thinks

201
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we should go after I mentioned affordable imaging, because well,

202
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 1>hospital imaging departments are really, really, really expensive. Can I

203
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>emphasize that enough? I mean, the idea of paying five

204
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars for a CT scan, it's just unconsortable to

205
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>me when I know you can go to Affordable Imaging

206
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Services and get a CT scan for four hundred and

207
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>fifty bucks. Yeah, same kind of CT scan equipment, same

208
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 1>thing with the MRI, the echo cardiogram, ultrasounds, all of

209
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it is similar or operable to the hospital imaging equipment.

210
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Every low price for the images at Affordable Imaging comes

211
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>with the board Certified Radiologists report, which you and your

212
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>physician will both get within forty eight hours. I've already

213
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>had scans there. I've got another one scheduled in April

214
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>from an xCT scan to see which direction my cancer

215
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>is going. And I'll keep my fingers crossed. But the

216
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>last time I was there, my doctor had no issue

217
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>with the image or the report, just had a problem

218
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>with the outcome. That's all, but not five thousand dollars

219
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>four point fifty and if you get a contrast six hundred.

220
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 1>The MRI is most expensive. When you can get there

221
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>with a contrast, it's still only six hundred and forty

222
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 1>five bucks and you could be out of pocket thirty

223
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>five hundred maybe four thousand at the hospital. So you

224
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>have a choice. Don't go to the hospital imaging department.

225
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Go to affordable imaging services and save heap loads of money,

226
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>especially folks that don't have insurance. It's not that you

227
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>can avoid not and not get the scan. These things

228
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 1>can be life saving five three seven five three eight

229
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.320

260
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 2>It is the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and I'll

261
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>be testifying in front of the subcommittee on Energy.

262
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>All right. Let this will be across the board kind

263

<v Speaker 1>of discussion about energy policy.

264
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it will be, and I'm kind of looking forward

265
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 2>to it. We'll be talking about, you know, our current

266
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>energy policy coming out of four years of the Biden administration,

267
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and then looking at what we expect to see President

268
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Trump do by way of energy, and what are the

269
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 2>pros and cons of different approaches to energy.

270
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, my conclusion, and I note from your

271
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 1>summary page of the notes and things, but I've also

272
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 1>heard this, next to raw materials and the cost of labor,

273
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>energy the third most expensive cost driver. Now it seems

274
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.559
<v Speaker 1>to me to be I don't know, necessarily low hanging

275
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>fruit in light of all the opposition to any energy

276
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 1>policies by the left. But if you really want to

277
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>lower inflation, lower the cost of diesel, you know, I

278
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>mean everything in our country gets shipped by a semi

279
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 1>tractor trailer truck running on diesel fuel, unless you're on

280
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a short haul trip in California, in which case you

281
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>have an electric one. But the power from that probably

282
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>is coming from some form of carbon anyway. But you

283
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 1>could easily remedy some of the price problems that we

284
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>are facing by lowering the cost of shipping, which would

285
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>be lowering the cost of energy related.

286
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>To shipping absolutely. And Trump's plan is to unleash commerce

287
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 2>across the country, and you do that by having cheap

288
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>energy prices, solid infrastructure, and lower fewer regulations. Because if

289
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you you know, right, rising tide lifts all boats. We've

290
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>heard that before. And the economy is the driver that

291
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>makes us all have a better quality of life, Brian,

292
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 2>And energy and the infrastructure and the transportation component to that,

293
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 2>they're all they're all three sides, three.

294
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Sides of the same coin. Can you say that doesn't

295
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 1>make any sense? Three legs to the stool if you

296
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 1>want to make it sound accurate anyway, I think I

297
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 1>already got what you were talking about. But you're right

298
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>on regulations. So when I think about, for example, the

299
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>cafe standards, which ultimately forced people to end up driving

300
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 1>something they don't want and also tremendously drive up the

301
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 1>cost of you an internal combustion engine, you know, not

302
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>only do you have cafe standards, but you also have

303
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 1>all these safety standards and mandates and obligations on all

304
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the bells and whistles you got to put into cars.

305
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 1>And is there even a single affordable car out in

306
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 1>the world these days? I mean, I think of folks

307
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>on life's margins, and they want a job or they've

308
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>got a job. There was a woman locally that the

309
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.559
<v Speaker 1>help squad helped out. She spent three hours a day

310
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on a bus, yeah, to get back and forth to

311
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>her job. They got her a car, they solved her problems. Yeah,

312
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of truth to that.

313
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.480
<v Speaker 2>And inflation inside, right, we spent too much money, We've

314
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>printed too much money, got it exactly. That's a big

315
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>driver of inflation. But another driver for in vehicle inflation

316
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>and insurance inflation are these evs because we're all paying

317
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>even though you're like, I'm not buying an ev well,

318
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>you're still helping subsidize an ev Ford Blue lost over

319
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a billion dollar last year. You think that four to

320
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>one fifty internal combustion and truck didn't cost you more

321
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 2>because of that?

322
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, you got to find profit somewhere, and you find

323
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.920
<v Speaker 1>profit in the products that people demand and buy. And

324
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>there is no profit in those evs there there isn't.

325
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Right now now, I will say, uh, you know, Tesla's

326
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>come out with revised model threes, and why is the

327
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>price has gone down? They've made them less complicated, They're

328
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 2>using different battery technology. Yeah, it works around town. You

329
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.400
<v Speaker 2>want to buy one, Great, you've got a uh, you've

330
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.839
<v Speaker 2>got a charger at home. Great for the rest of us,

331
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 2>though the Biden administration pushing this on us, by the way,

332
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:40.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Inflation Reduction Act, right well, well named uh

333
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.279
<v Speaker 2>supposed to put all these chargers out around the country,

334
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and they've done none of that.

335
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got like eight yes, and there was like five

336
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.880
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars or something along those lines, and they put

337
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Yeah, they put eight Wow. I you know,

338
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 1>gosh to a neighborhood near you, sometimes centuries from now.

339
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>So, thank goodness, the previous administration was not very competent

340
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>delivering this. But we have tomate between two and four

341
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.759
<v Speaker 2>trillion dollars to build out an electrical infrastructure system for

342
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>charging cars. And if we're going to be serious, and

343
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 2>part of my testimony tomorrow is, look, let's just assume

344
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.960
<v Speaker 2>everybody agrees that we need to reduce our carbon footprint.

345
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.519
<v Speaker 2>We don't agree, but let's say let's just assume we do.

346
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Then the government should be agnostic as to how you

347
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>do that. If you can put a different fuel in

348
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>your regular engine, fine, why do we have to electrify everything?

349
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Why is the government telling us what we can buy

350
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and what we can't buy instead of saying, guys, here's

351
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the problem. We don't know the right answer. But look,

352
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 2>we've got brilliant people all over the country. We want

353
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.759
<v Speaker 2>to get from point A to B. You guys in

354
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the private sector figure it out. That's what the government

355
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 2>should be doing.

356
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 1>And agreed, and you know, even maybe a little bit

357
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>further diving down the the rattle that this is, if

358
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you live in an area that gets most of its

359
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>power primarily generated from you know, natural gas or coal,

360
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>perhaps then you're really not impacting the carbon output into

361
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 1>the world when you're driving an EV because the power

362
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that's generating the electricity is coming from a carbon producing source.

363
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely correct. Isn't there a physics react sort of a

364
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 1>physics component of that, Like you're not going to achieve

365
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>greater energy from the plant to the charging station. I mean,

366
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be one of those it's a wash type deals.

367
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It is. It absolutely is.

368
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we have actually reduced greenhouse gas emissions

369
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>more than any other country by simply switching from a

370
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:53.960
<v Speaker 2>coal fired power plant to a natural gas fired power plant.

371
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people don't understand that whether you

372
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>use I don't know, coal, gas, oil, well, nuclear power,

373
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>we're heating water. We're heating water to then make electricity. Now,

374
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the natural gas plants we use in some cases gas

375
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.599
<v Speaker 2>turbine engines that you can click a mouse button and

376
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>throttle it up or back, which is the most efficient.

377
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 2>And we should be building more of that, and we

378
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 2>should be building more nuclear. But to your point, for

379
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>all of the coal that Europe and the US has replaced,

380
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>China has more than offset that this year alone. China's

381
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>talking between forty and sixty gigawatts of new coal power.

382
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.079
<v Speaker 1>So okay, let's continue to cut our throat in the

383
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.200
<v Speaker 1>face of the Chinese communist parties aspirations. More with Briga McCallan.

<v Speaker 1>policy tomorrow and obviously ABO above board strategy above board.

428
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And I just casually mentioned, you know, you always hear

429
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 1>about gas, hear about coal production, you hear about nuclear production,

430
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 1>although I'm hoping we'll get some and you can comment

431
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>on that. But the idea of a geothermal you know,

432
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 1>the Earth is a great heat exchanger, and I've got

433
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a you know, sort of I guess a mini version

434
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of a geothermal system. You know, tubes running one hundred

435
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.839
<v Speaker 1>and fifty feet down into the ground and start you're

436
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 1>starting at fifty five degrees. Then it's not as much

437
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>of an uphill battle to cool the air or warm

438
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 1>it as the case may be. And the energy bills

439
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>are often very very low by comparison to a traditional system.

440
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 1>So and I know that if they drill a hole

441
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 1>deep enough, you know, the Earth's core is molten, and

442
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure you have to go all the way

443
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:54.640
<v Speaker 1>down to the Earth's core, but you get to a

444
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 1>certain point, which is an achievable depth. It's pretty damn hot.

445
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I just it seems so simil that you could run

446
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 1>a line down there. The water would heat up and

447
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>boil like you talked about, and create steam, which would

448
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:06.839
<v Speaker 1>generate free electricity.

449
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah, Iceland uses out there some places with volcanic

450
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>activity where the lava is closer to the surface that

451
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>you can do And yeah, you know interesting, isn't it that? Gee,

452
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>that's uh, let me think that's carbon free. Yeah, why

453
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.279
<v Speaker 2>aren't people talking about that, Brian.

454
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's mind boggling. We're all pursuing hydrogen

455
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.440
<v Speaker 1>technology and all these different, you know, very complicated things,

456
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but the simplistic thing of really, you know, you put

457
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:39.559
<v Speaker 1>a pipe into the and I know it's more complicated

458
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.599
<v Speaker 1>to this. I'm not a scientist and I don't play

459
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't play one on radio. But there's that massive

460
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>amount of heat, and yes, it is close to the

461
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:51.480
<v Speaker 1>surface in a lot of places on the Earth. Hell,

462
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 1>there's active volcanoes out in Hawaii, right yeah, yeah, there are.

463
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, geotherma for industrial applications what we

464
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.319
<v Speaker 2>call industrial heat applications are possible. I know up at

465
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Miami University they use geothermal as well and have cut

466
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>their builds substantially. And again, they used to have a

467
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:11.920
<v Speaker 2>coal fired power plant actually at Miami, and they don't

468
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 2>any longer, and they've added on to it every year.

469
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.799
<v Speaker 2>In a couple places around the world, people are putting

470
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.119
<v Speaker 2>geothermal under the streets and kind of giving it to

471
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 2>an entire neighborhood, right and it can help a lot.

472
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot and I think that's really the

473
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>issue is with AI and data centers. We need a

474
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>lot more energy than we currently produce. We're having trouble

475
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 2>getting it built because of some of these I'm going

476
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:44.039
<v Speaker 2>to call them silly environmental and process laws where we

477
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 2>can't get anything done and then the loser sues and

478
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 2>it's tied up for another seven to ten years. We've

479
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 2>got to get back to a country of building things.

480
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>And I know this president wants to get stuff built.

481
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 2>He's a developer, he likes building stuff. And we've got

482
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 2>to simplify what we're doing and get back to that

483
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>core mission. Because America used to be doers, or we

484
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>used to be builders and whether that's energy, whether that's infrastructure,

485
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.039
<v Speaker 2>where that's roads, highways, whatever, we.

486
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Need to get back to that. Yeah, and the more

487
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.359
<v Speaker 1>abundant and inexpensive the energy is, the more likely it

488
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 1>is we can achieve these goals. And everybody listening audience

489
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 1>knows what's coming. I want to hear about nuclear power

490
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.440
<v Speaker 1>because it seems to be the literal answer to so

491
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>many prayers, including environmentalist prayers. The way these new nuke

492
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 1>systems work. So first though, word for Fasten pro Roofing.

493

497
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 1>roof you need. How about your commercial space? They do

498
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>commercial work as well, copper custom copper work. I think

499
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm most impressed by that because that really takes some

500
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>skill sets, and boy don't they have them. But for

501
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>all things roofing and roofing related, you're dealing with the

502
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>company that will never ever ever, why do you steer

503
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:01.759
<v Speaker 1>you in the wrong direction. They take great care of

504
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.759

<v Speaker 1>intact and trust me, it is never trying to say

506
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 1>anything you do not need like so many other unscrupulous

507
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 1>roofing companies and superior work as well. I see it

508
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>every day I drive home. Plus the siding on the backyard.

509
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I love this siding. They did hardyboard over the old vinyl.

510
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Just a tremendous improvement the look and the quality. Fastenproroofing

<v Speaker 1>testifying in front of a Congressional committee tomorrow on energy policy.

538
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.839
<v Speaker 1>And Brigham's in all the above kind of guy and

539
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 1>all the above suggests. Of course, among other things, we

540
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about nuclear power, which it drives me out of

541
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.759
<v Speaker 1>my mind, considering everybody's all worried about carbon output. Nuclear

542
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>power doesn't put any carbon. And know these are no

543
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 1>longer three mile island type nuclear plants. We have moved.

544
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:13.359
<v Speaker 1>We are decades past that new technologies exist, closed loop

545
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>systems that don't require cooling towers, and as you pointed

546
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 1>out to me off the break, no problem with waste anymore.

547
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>With nuclear plants.

548
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, we can recycle they spent uranium and pretty much

549
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>put it back into operation. Nuclear fission, which is what

550
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>we use, releases exponential amounts of energy over a fairly

551
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:45.279
<v Speaker 2>small footprint for a you know, a plant, And we

552
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 2>have the capability to make large ones like we've like

553
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.319
<v Speaker 2>we always have, as well as to make a SMR

554
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 2>smaller modular or a small modular reactor SMR, and even microreactors.

555
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.279
<v Speaker 1>You mean, like the ones on my friend's submarine and

556
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 1>the ones that are used to powered battleships and have

557
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 1>been for the last fifty years. Brigham.

558
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, how about that aircraft care All of our

559
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 2>submarines have been nuclear powered since sixties. Yeah, maybe late fifties,

560
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.079
<v Speaker 2>late fifties. Somebody will call in and say, what they're

561
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a Michael chime in on that. But yeah, and right,

562
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean this is not new. And they're run by

563
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>eighteen to twenty one year olds, you got that right,

564
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 2>And they're the smartest people.

565
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 1>In the navy. By the way.

566
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm an aviation guy, not a submarine or

567
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 2>don't call them some mariners.

568
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 1>They get upset. I know, I found that out too.

569
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I got corrected, so I haven't made that mistake.

570
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we can release large amounts of energy that over

571
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the lifetime is one of the most cost effective way

572
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 2>per kilowatt hour. But the government gets in our own

573
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>way because our regulations are still antiquated. Yeah, we're still

574
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.519
<v Speaker 2>assuming we're building a three mile island and it takes

575
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, the joke is the Nuclear Regulatory Commissioned inn

576
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 2>RCA has spent its entire life as an agency avoiding

577
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 2>permitting anything that's got to change. That's got to change,

578
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.359
<v Speaker 2>and behind the scenes you won't hear much about this,

579
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>but fusion. There is a space race on to develop

580
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 2>fusion power. China's doing it, We're doing it. And that

581
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.799
<v Speaker 2>is the power of the sun, a sustainable combustion, never

582
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 2>ending that creates more energy than it uses. That's the

583
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.359
<v Speaker 2>holy grail. It's always been fifty years away, but we'll see.

584
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine that it's almost It acts in defiance

585
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and the laws of physics. I mean, you've go to

586
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the concept that energy matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

587
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you end up getting more energy out of

588
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 1>something than anyway? Again, no scientists, am I, but I've

589
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>been hearing about that technology for ill since I was

590
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 1>a little kid. Are we close at all? Do you

591
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 1>have any insight into how far we are from being

592
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>able to harness that type of the technology.

593
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.720
<v Speaker 2>There are many startup companies in the US trying to

594
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:07.720
<v Speaker 2>figure this out, and unlike other energy where you share

595
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:11.079
<v Speaker 2>all this technology, they're being very they're holding everything very

596
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>close to the vest right because well profit and you

597
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.759
<v Speaker 2>know the Chinese will just steal it. And so we

598
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have several different reactor designs. One of them is called

599
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the Tokamak reactor. Don't ask me why to figure out

600
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 2>how to do this, And right now we can only

601
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.480
<v Speaker 2>sustain a chain reaction for anywhere from a few seconds

602
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 2>to a record I'm told, but I haven't verified this

603
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>independently as a thousand seconds, and then you have to

604
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>tear the whole thing down and rebuild it.

605
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 1>So wow, we're not quite there yet, I would say.

606
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 2>But there are a couple of people that plan on

607
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.400
<v Speaker 2>small commercial versions of fusion as early as the end

608
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 2>of this decade.

609
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Well real quickly before we take another break and bring

610
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>it back for one more. In terms of the size

611
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 1>of the nuclear plants, obviously, as you pointed out, they

612
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>come in all shapes and sizes, but they're much more

613
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 1>compact than they used to be. Artificial intelligence needs a

614
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.119
<v Speaker 1>just a ton of electricity, and it seems to me

615
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to be one of the easiest ways

616
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 1>for us to actually get this for our own use,

617
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:19.319
<v Speaker 1>because all the big players in AI are talking nuclear technology,

618
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>building their own plants on their own facilities. Could one

619
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 1>of these smaller, say submarine or aircraft carrier size react

620
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 1>or actually run an entire artificial intelligence facility? Or it

621
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.160
<v Speaker 1>require something bigger than that. No, it sure could.

622
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, you could plug a submarine and

623
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>empower a city of three hundred and fifty thousand people

624
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:38.920
<v Speaker 2>there you go.

625
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's just See. Every time I hear things like that,

626
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it just really irks me that we are being deprived

627
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of this answer to our prayers. Seven forty seven fifty

628
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>five care Se Detalk Station QC Kinetics maybe the answer

629
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 1>to your pain prayers. And if you started out with

630
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the pain and it got gradually worse, now you can't

631
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 1>get in and out of the car without wincing and

632
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 1>pain climbing up the stairs. That arthrit is pain, whether

633
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.839
<v Speaker 1>it's in your knee, your hip, some other joint, maybe

634
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 1>your back. So you've been to the doctor steroid injections. Yeah,

635
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been down that road a whole bunch of times.

636
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>You say yourself, and I'm not taking pain medications because

637
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 1>they're tough to come by and they don't solve the problem.

638
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:20.760
<v Speaker 1>How about instead of surgery, which is your next step,

677
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.800
<v Speaker 1>brilliant young graduate students, and you had another comment you

678
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make about fusion and embrace yourself for these

679
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:36.119
<v Speaker 1>fun facts. Folks. Now, we're not quite there yet with fusion,

680
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>but it looks like, you know, someday, maybe within our lifetime,

681
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 1>we can harness this technology. But give them a little

682
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>comparison by way of comparing it to nuclear power, and

683
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>then Cole.

684
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, well, fusion is generates four times the amount of

685
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.599
<v Speaker 2>power that fission produces, so it's.

686
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:58.840
<v Speaker 1>A lot more four times nuclear power.

687
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Four times more than new clear power, you know, bang

688
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.920
<v Speaker 2>for the buck, and for million times more energy than

689
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.440
<v Speaker 2>burning oil or coal four million Brian.

690
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 1>That is just mind boggling, isn't that a lot?

691
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Now?

692
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.719
<v Speaker 2>The trouble is, of course, you know the high temperatures

693
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>required to make it, and that's that's really one of

694
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>the impediments right now. But by the way, it doesn't

695
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.559
<v Speaker 2>really produce radioactive material. After you shut the thing down

696
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.280
<v Speaker 2>within a very short period of time, there's nothing left.

697
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:32.480
<v Speaker 2>There's no radioactive material or what there is closest to

698
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.079
<v Speaker 2>it can be. The half life is so short it

699
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:41.039
<v Speaker 2>doesn't require all the safety precautions that regular fission reactors require.

700
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, in terms of regular fission the stuff that

701
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.760
<v Speaker 1>we can do and can accomplish right now, because that's

702
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what the French are using for their electricity. In so

703
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>many other places are building nuclear reactors. Where do we

704
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:55.159
<v Speaker 1>get the nuclear material from to run the reactor? Bring them? Yeah,

705
00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:56.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is amazing.

706
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>We used to produce all of our nuclear fuel from Paducah,

707
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky and Piked in Ohio, not too far from where

708
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I grew up. And after the Cold War ended, we

709
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 2>shut down that production because we took Russian fuel and

710
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 2>down blended it. It was highly enriched uranium, nuclear bomb

711
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:16.519
<v Speaker 2>type material.

712
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 1>This is post Soviet Union, falling post Silvit Union, and

713
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that was a good plan. You know.

714
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:22.880
<v Speaker 2>They said, please come take our stuff because we can't

715
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 2>guarantee the safety, and we said, sure, we'll do that,

716
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:30.079
<v Speaker 2>but that decimated the domestic industry. We get our nuclear

717
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.800
<v Speaker 2>material from Russia. Canada wants to provide it for us,

718
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and they mine uranium. Once we get through our little

719
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:42.519
<v Speaker 2>family food fight with those guys, you know, and I

720
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 2>do like the Canadians. They want a closer They even

721
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 2>talked about an energy union and economic union with the US.

722
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.800
<v Speaker 2>They would like to do this, and I think, you know,

723
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Trump has his reasons for doing what he's doing, and

724
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:58.360
<v Speaker 2>it appears to be paying off. So while people are

725
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:03.039
<v Speaker 2>hysterical about what's going on with Mexico and in Canada,

726
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.840
<v Speaker 2>just you know, hold your fire. It's all going to

727
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.280
<v Speaker 2>be fine.

728
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, And it only took like twelve hours to put

729
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 1>things in short order, getting the tariff shut down and

730
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump getting some of his way with regard to

731
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the border security and trying to shut down fentanyl from

732
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:17.039
<v Speaker 1>flowing into our country.

733
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's really what it's about. It's about securing

734
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the board, it's about fentanyl. It's about the drug trade

735
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>back and forth. It's about illicit money coming back and forth.

736
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:32.199
<v Speaker 2>And you know, is it unorthodox? Yes, from a diplomatic perspective.

737
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Is it the nicest way to treat your neighbors? Maybe not,

738
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.599
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he's a disruptor, and when you hire

739
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:41.559
<v Speaker 2>a disruptor, they disrupt things. That's the whole point, and

740
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>that's what leads to breakthroughs. Quite honestly.

741
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, and none of this should shock anybody because he

742
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 1>ran on doing it. Yeah, I mean he was talking

743
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 1>about terriffs in the last year and a half. I
