Thank you Mr. Banga!

While researching for my book, A Cubic Mile of Oil, I realized the necessity for nuclear power to meet global energy needs. Ever since, I have been an active proponent for nuclear power. Some of you may have seen my open letters on this blog to leaders and decision makers advocating for nuclear power. No wonder I was very pleased to read the news that the World Bank has finally lifted its ban on funding nuclear power. I reversed its policy and will now finance nuclear energy projects should host countries choose to do so.

The World Needs Nuclear Power

 

I recently learned about Notebook LM from Google. It is an AI tool with an ability to cull information from a variety of sources like documents, presentations, videos, etc. and generating briefing papers and podcasts. I gave it try by submitting some of my hour-plus long video presentations and was quite pleased with the short podcasts it generated. Next, I tried feeding it six of my blog posts, all related to nuclear power, and I am posting the resulting podcast here. Take a listen and let me know your thoughts.
