Nuclear Proliferation, Iran and the Green Renaissance

I'd wanted to get the inside story on the nuclear dimension of our Iran crisis, which I did, but in the bargain I got a crash course on why nuclear power will save the planet.

Ambassador John Ritch, a West Point graduate, now the Director General of the World Nuclear Association, is about as experienced a practitioner in nuclear proliferation and nuclear issues writ broad as anyone. He's also a leading nuclear evangelist. In addition to being a first-rate intellect he's one of the nicest guys to have worked in Washington – that I've met. If the Democrat Party gets lucky in 2008 most likely he'll provide ballast in some (very) senior foreign policy position.

Reflecting on our conversation as I was editing it I realized there are a number of additional questions I should've asked – which will keep until next time. This podcast runs about 42 minutes. Enjoy!
