Hey, I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to another special edition of the Chris Cuomo Project podcast.

This is part two of our look into, hey, are we nutty when it comes to nuclear? I was raised

0:12.9

to think it's too frightening to even discuss, even look at anything like that. Did we have

0:18.0

it right? And if we had it wrong, how does it fit into the picture of us trying to get

0:22.9

to a better energy solution? Should nuclear be part of our future or is it relegated

0:28.6

to part of the past? I want to continue our conversation that I'm doing in partnership

for the next generation. So let's have the discussion.

1:25.9
