In this episode, I’m very pleased to welcome Elizabeth Muller, CEO of Deep Isolation. Liz wants to unlock the potential of nuclear power to address global warming. I’m a sceptic about nuclear power because nobody has yet solved the waste problem. But maybe Deep Isolation has. By the end of our conversation, I won’t say I’m convinced, but I’m certainly a lot more open-minded than I was at the start. Join me for an informative and inspiring discussion about what it takes to bring a breakthrough idea into the world.
Deep Isolation offers nuclear waste storage and disposal solutions using directional drilling technology and community partnerships.
