Dr Chris Keefer's latest Decouple podcast is with Jigar Shah, head of the government agency making loans to new reactor startups (and I think other climate-related innovation). More contentious than with most of his guests - Jigar, who has apparently organised many billion dollars of solar plant finance , not surprisingly has a better opinion of their worth than the good doctor. Anyway, he says they're open to finance larger reactors, but none of the power companies want them - they're too shell shocked by Vogtle and Summer, and would rather start small and play safe. I found another podcast online, where Jigar was discussing the process of providing government funding to a Canadian based company doing lithium battery recycling at scale - he arranged $375 million for them to set up a plant in New York state. Thought as a chemist you might be interested.https://www.mcjcollective.com/my-climate-journey-podcast/jigar-shah-ajay-kochhar
