Nuclear Waste Could Power the Future – Here's Why - Mike Mauceli, Ron Stein

What if I told you we’re sitting on an untapped energy source that could power the world for generations? In this episode of the Energy Show with REI Energy, Mike Mauceli sits down with energy expert Ron Stein to discuss a surprising truth – 97% of nuclear fuel labeled as “waste” can actually still generate power. That’s right – we’re throwing away fuel that could provide infinite electricity with the right technology.

Ron breaks down how fast breeder reactors can recycle this “waste,” extracting the remaining energy and revolutionizing how we power homes, cities, and even entire countries. As the world pushes for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions, nuclear power could play a much bigger role than most people realize.

We also dive into why other countries, like France and China, are racing ahead in nuclear development while the U.S. lags behind. Could outdated fears and misconceptions be costing us a chance at energy independence?

This episode will change the way you think about nuclear energy and its potential to reshape the future.
