Nuclear Power: Challenging Misconceptions and Embracing its Potential

In a conversation with Joe Rogan, filmmaker Oliver Stone addresses concerns and misconceptions surrounding nuclear power. Stone argues that nuclear energy is safe and necessary for the future, citing his experience as a former navy nuclear operator on aircraft carriers. He explains that nuclear power has been successfully used to fuel the US naval fleet, including submarines and aircraft carriers, without major incidents. Stone's perspective is supported by the fact that nuclear energy currently provides about 20% of the United States' electricity. The discussion between Stone and Rogan aims to challenge the negative perception of nuclear power and promote a more informed and balanced understanding of its benefits and risks.
