About this episode

The episode discusses China's aggressive nuclear reactor construction compared to the stagnant U.S. nuclear energy landscape, exploring various geopolitical and energy policy implications.

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Podcast, host Stu Turley sits down with Thomas Land, CEO of Myriad Uranium and J2 Metals, to explore the geopolitical battle reshaping global energy. While China aggressively builds dozens of nuclear reactors to power its AI dominance, the United States remains frozen in time with just 94 reactors—a legacy of fear dating back to Three Mile Island. But the real story goes deeper: it's about uranium enrichment, Russian fuel subscriptions, Arctic shipping routes, and how $10 trillion spent on wind and solar could have transformed the world with nuclear power instead. Land breaks down the uranium fuel cycle, reveals why silver is the hottest commodity on Earth, and challenges conventional wisdom about energy policy, Canadian leverage and the hidden beneficiaries of decisions like the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation. This is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand the true drivers of energy security, geopolitical power, and why the nuclear renaissance is just beginning.
