Before we dive into today’s video, if you think back to August of last year…I sent out a video covering a few of these technologies and the limits of innovation. Here’s a link if you want a refresher:

China, Navy, Nukes, Tech, and Politics || TEST

Nuclear power has a bad reputation, and I get it…Chernobyl, nuclear waste, and outdated infrastructure. Buttt, it’s a reliable, carbon-free energy source that might be getting a much needed facelift soon-ish.

Companies like Google and Amazon are realizing their energy needs are growing, so they are investing in small modular reactors (SMRs) to help meet demands. There’s plenty of work to be done before these SMRs are operational, but funding from these tech powerhouses is critical for R&D.

While the small modular reactors won’t solve all of the nuclear issues, they are step in the right direction to changing the public’s opinion about nuclear power. And if this all works out, SMRs could even help solve the energy crisis the US is heading towards.

We appreciate the interest and engagement from our followers, but with Peter’s travel schedule and sheer volume of requests, we are unable to answer non-business-related questions via e-mail. Use the ‘Ask Peter’ page below for your video topics, ideas and burning questions…

Here at Zeihan on Geopolitics, our chosen charity partner is MedShare. They provide emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it, so we can be sure that every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence.

If you sign up for our Patreon page in the month of October, the proceeds from your subscription for the remainder of 2024 will be donated directly to MedShare. So, you can get our all of the perks of joining the Patreon AND support a good cause while you’re doing it.

We encourage you to sign up for the Patreon page at the link below.
