\u201cThe left just is continuing to the vilifying nuclear energy in the aftermath, still of the 1980s, Chernobyl disaster, and we\u2019re trying to push back. We\u2019re trying to get the American public to better embrace the greatness of nuclear energy, which is, you know, [is] zero carbon emissions. It\u2019s clean. It\u2019s plentiful. It\u2019s cheap. It\u2019s reliable. It\u2019s safe. Its baseload. And that\u2019s part of the problem that I don\u2019t understand with the with the left the, the energy fanatic, or I\u2019m sorry, the the environmental creationists.\u201d\u00a0 \u2014 Patrick Brenner, president\/co-founder of Southwest Public Policy Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Episode 377 of District of Conservation, Gabriella interviews Patrick Brenner \u2013 president and co-founder of the Southwestern Public Policy Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Mexico-based organization is a research institute built to explore and build on sound, data-driven policies regarding education, crime, and economics that will encourage positive change in the American Southwest. Many think tanks have fallen victim to the mentality of communicating only to the echo chamber: they only target individuals that agree with partisan messaging. SPPI\u2019s approach enables us to reach new audiences by micro-targeting constituents on issues like finance, energy, education, or public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
