The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts.  Put your thinking cap on for this one, folks, and get ready to earn you PhD in thermodynamics!  Jack invites Dr. Michael von Spakovsky to the Power Hour this week for a conversation that combines policy with technical, academic knowledge.  Dr. von Spakovsky is a professor at Virginia Tech’s Department of Mechanical Engineering who has spent a career thinking about how complex systems, large and small, work.  It turns out that this research can help us to better understand how things like our climate and energy use work.  Rather than framing his perspective around political preference or policy, he understands physics.   This allows him to see through the political gas lighting and get straight to the facts.  You might need listen to this one twice but it will be worth it.  You find out more about Dr. von Spakovsky’ s work here.   Oh, and don’t forget to grab your copy of Nuclear Revolution .  Join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word. And buy both books!
