Rep. Brian Cole (R-Manchester) is a tireless advocate for expanding nuclear power in New Hampshire, and he's made energy policy the central plank of his campaign for U.S. Congress. In this edition of the NHJournal podcast, he talks about the realistic timeline for bringing new nuclear technology on line. He also talks about the U.S. war on Iran and Trump's impact on the November elections.

Also, instead of the weekly serving of "Rank Punditry" on NH politics, it's "Pundit-Palooza!" We asked a half dozen politically-active people to give their quick takes on how 2026 is shaping up:

  • U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)
  • Republican strategist Mike Dennehy
  • NH Home Builders' CEO Matt Mayberry
  • NHFRW President Christine Peters
  • Former GOP U.S. Senate candidate Vikram Mansharamani
  • GOP media professional Chuck McGee

PS-- The episode kicks off with a cameo appearance from former Executive Councilor Andru Volinksy.
