Eben Brown：随着人工智能应用、数据中心和制造业回流等因素导致能源需求急剧增长，特朗普总统正在通过行政命令推动美国重新拥抱核能，以满足不断增长的电力需求。公众、商业和工业领域都对核能持支持态度，并认为应将其与其他能源结合使用，以实现能源结构的多元化。 John Kotek：特朗普总统签署了一系列行政命令，旨在增加对下一代核能的需求，提高监管效率，推动技术创新，并确保燃料供应和劳动力保障。这些命令不仅着眼于国内市场，还旨在帮助美国企业在全球市场上与俄罗斯和中国竞争。由于人工智能、数据中心和制造业回流等因素导致电力需求大幅增长，核能可以在满足电力需求方面发挥关键作用，因为它能够提供稳定、可靠的电力供应。核能可以作为电网的骨干，与其他可再生能源和储能技术结合使用，实现能源结构的多元化。为了加快核电站的建设，需要联邦、州和私人部门的合作，共同解决初期成本较高的问题。同时，要确保现有政策和项目不倒退，并在其基础上继续发展。

Shownotes Transcript

Last week, President Trump signed a series of executive orders to dramatically increase and accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants in the United States. One order cuts reactor approval times, another speeds up testing times for new reactor models and a third establishes a joint effort between the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to build and operate reactors on federal sites. The sweeping orders are largely a part of efforts to meet energy demands of artificial intelligence and domestic production.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with John Kotek, Senior Vice-President for Policy Development and Public Affairs for The Nuclear Energy Institute, who says we need to catch up to countries like China and Russia in nuclear power development.
