You guys know I'm all about reliable and affordable energy, a strong military, and rebuilding America's industrial might. That's what makes Tom Holm such a great fit as a guest! As he put it, it's "preaching to the preacher."
Tom, who is Executive Director of the Energy Defense Council, discussed the potential of nuclear energy to enhance military dominance and economic resilience. He highlighted the U.S.'s abundant energy resources and innovative capabilities, emphasizing the need for advanced nuclear power to support military bases and export technology. He shared his experience with the Philippines, where American-made nuclear reactors will soon be installed, and stressed the importance of regulatory reforms to facilitate energy innovation. Tom also underscored the strategic value of self-sufficient military bases and the broader economic benefits of reshoring manufacturing to bolster American infrastructure and security.
Tom produces the annual Technology, Energy , and Vehicle Conference, or TEVCON, which is coming up in April. That link and a couple other important ones are down below.
