Evening Edition: President Trump Pushes For Increase In Nuclear Power

Last week, President Trump signed a series of executive orders to
dramatically increase and accelerate the construction of nuclear
power plants in the United States. One order cuts reactor approval
times, another speeds up testing times for new reactor models and a
third establishes a joint effort between the Department of Energy
and the Department of Defense to build and operate reactors on
federal sites. The sweeping orders are largely a part of efforts to
meet energy demands of artificial intelligence and domestic
production. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with John Kotek, Senior
Vice-President for Policy Development and Public Affairs for The
Nuclear Energy Institute, who says we need to catch up to countries
like China and Russia in nuclear power development. Click Here⁠⁠ To
