Hello and welcome back to the Power Hour, the Heritage Foundation Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment's podcast.

I'm your host, Jack Spencer.

Jack Haggard is with us behind the glass producing this show.

Jack, how are you today?

And do you promise, as you always do, that you'll make this a good, reasonable podcast.

Yes, sir, I do.

And I'm doing well.

Awesome.

That's great to hear. I have a question to ask you, Jack. Are you a gun guy? I'm not a huge gun guy, but I have shot my fair share. You have shot your, but I'm not asking to just have you shot a gun, but are you a gun guy? I would like to get into it more, but at the stage in my life, I have not yet. All right. Well, that's good enough for me.

Now, also back with us this week. It's Connor the intern. That's what I'm going to call you from now on. I know that I told you Earl at a previous time. Don't introduce yourself as an intern, introduce yourself as a research or something like that. But we're going to call you Connor the intern for the purposes of this podcast. Since you are now officially reoccurring guests,

Connor, welcome back to the Power Hour.

How are you doing I'm

doing great thank you so much for having you you did a great job last time so I'm

glad to have you back don't be afraid if you want to say something ask a question

contribute you don't have to but feel free to do so. Awesome. Now, that all, of course, depends on that you don't screw this up. If you screw it up, then that all goes out the window. And we will kick you off the show because here on the power hour, we have no mercy. So that I should. I tried carefully, you know. Now, let me ask you, are you a gun guy?

Yeah. Yeah. You are. All right. Yes. The type of enthusiasm. Now, why am I asking all that? It's probably not that crazy because we talk guns stuff all the time. But you'll see why I'm asking you these questions here in a bit. Here's the thing. I mentioned a few episodes ago. Now we're making a few changes here at the power hour.

Certainly, we'll remain energy and environment focus.

That'll be our core area.

And obviously, I can't not talk nuclear.
