Robert Zubrin: The Case For Nukes | Tom Nelson Pod #100
Dr. Robert Zubrin is the founder and president of Pioneer Energy. Dr. Zubrin has a B.A. in applied mathematics from the University of Rochester, an M.S in aeronautics and astronautics and a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering, both from the University of Washington.
He has 26 years industry experience, more than 200 technical and non-technical publications in various areas of astronautical, aerospace, fossil fuel, and nuclear engineering, and 14 U.S. patents. He is also a best-selling author, with eight books to his credit, including The Case for Mars; Energy Victory, which lays out a bold plan for breaking the economic stranglehold that foreign oil has on North America; and Merchants of Despair, which exposes the history of the deeply anti-human ideology that underpins today’s environmental movement.
