  • Plutonium: coming to a nuclear power plant near you?

    Plutonium: coming to a nuclear power plant near you?
    Sep 29 2025
    The Trump administration is considering using weapons-grade plutonium to help fuel a new wave of nuclear reactors. But these plans are already concerning Democratic lawmakers and some Department of Energy officials, who worry that allowing commercial nuclear producers to have the material could pose defense and safety issues. POLITICO’s Zack Colman cracks open the details of how this nuclear fuel plan will work and the effects it could have on national security. Also, New York’s state energy agency is pushing for new solar and wind project bids before President Trump’s energy project credit cuts go into effect.

  • Trump’s climate contrarianism at the UN

    Trump’s climate contrarianism at the UN
    Sep 26 2025
    President Donald Trump hasn’t been a big fan of renewable energy. And on the international stage, he’s used some unusual diplomacy to get his point across. These two themes collided earlier this week in New York City, where heads of state gathered for the UN General Assembly. In a nearly hour-long speech, Trump eviscerated his peers for falling for what he called the “the green energy scam.” Meanwhile, Energy Secretary Chris Wright made the rounds promoting a contrarian climate science report that has drawn a lot of criticism. Zack Colman joins host Josh Siegel to talk about how all of this landed at the UN, how China sought to contrast itself with the U.S., and Trump’s influence over the trajectory of global climate policy.
