The U.S. has 95,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel sitting in parking lots across 30 states — and Stafford Sheehan thinks it's the country's biggest unclaimed asset. His company, Project Omega, is turning that "waste" into the batteries, isotopes, and fuel that will power the next century.
In this episode, we cover why one fingertip-sized uranium pellet holds more energy than a ton of coal, how the same "waste" is already powering Voyager past the edge of the solar system — and inside your smoke detector — and why a battery that runs for 30 years could be closer than you think.
Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money. Learn about the near future directly from the people building it.
