In the 54th installment of the Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous unpack reports that the Trump administration is moving to repeal the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” the legal backbone for major federal greenhouse-gas rules. They then pivot to SpaceX’s FCC filing for “orbital data centers” and the bigger question behind all the hype: is AI-in-space technically and economically realistic?

In the 53rd installment of the Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous break down Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. They unpack his claim that the rules-based order is breaking down, why “going along to get along” no longer works, and what value-based realism should mean in practice for Canada. They also discuss why the speech is being read as a “stick it to Trump” moment, what parts of that miss the point, and what Canada’s path forward could look like on trade, energy, and strategic autonomy.

In the 52nd installment of The Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous break down a Nature Communications paper asking a simple question: can wind and solar reliably power an entire country year-round? They walk through what the study finds when you add storage, overbuild, and bigger grid connections, then explain why key real-world constraints like transmission and practicality change the policy story. The takeaway is straightforward: renewables can cover a lot, but reliability still needs firm power like nuclear, hydro, or gas.
