Peter Vazquez sits down with the Hon. Ed McGinnis, former U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy and now CEO of Curio. With over three decades at the Department of Energy, McGinnis exposes how fear and politics buried America’s nuclear future. Curio’s breakthrough turns “waste” into 150 years of clean power, critical isotopes, and generational jobs, restoring U.S. energy leadership, cutting dependence on rivals, and reigniting the nation’s will to lead again.
