In this episode, I interview Theis about nuclear power and its role within sustainability.
Theis has co-founded an organization that promotes the adoption of nuclear power called Atomkraft Ja Tak - they campaign for the inclusion of nuclear power into the solutions we adopt to fight climate change. He's also the Country Manager for Kärnfull Energi DK, a utility company providing electricity supply via nuclear power credits.
Some of the topics that we cover in our conversation:
- Thais' studies and how he got interested in the energy production topic
- Energy density - as a concept and how it apply to different energy sources
- The Atomkraft Ja Tak organization's goals
- Information asymmetry when it comes to energy production
- The negative sentiment we as a society have against nuclear and why that is
- Nuclear energy in the public conversation
- How their association works

- Kärnfull Next - small modular reactors in Sweden
