EPA administrator Lee Zeldin talks the future of nuclear
In a recent interview on New York radio station 77 WABC, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin talked with host John Catsimatidis about the near-term future of the domestic nuclear industry and the role the EPA will play in the sector.
Catsimatidis kicked off the interview by asking if the U.S. will be able to reach total energy independence. Zeldin responded by saying that decreasing energy dependence on other countries, especially adversaries, was a top priority for him and the Trump administration.

The Geyser District Heating Reactor (GDHR) and a low-temperature steam-cycle, the Geyser Thermal Energy Converter (GTEC), make a system with remarkable features. The estimated costs project, that relatively small plants distributed over a network, or operating autonomously, are cost effective. As a cogeneration device the Geyser system can supply ample heating power and some electricity opening new alternatives. Innovative combination of conventional components besides using advanced design and analysis techniques available to engineers today allow further increase of the thermal efficiency.
