Cato PodcastAtomic EconomicsPeter Van Doren and David Kemp bring libertarian skepticism to the bipartisan political support for nuclear power. They analyze why regulatory reform alone may not solve nuclear's economic problems and discuss how recent U.S. projects have failed to deliver on promises of cost-effectiveness even after a supposed "renaissance" in the late 2000s. They finish up with a discussion on whether small modular reactors (SMRs) are the nuclear silver bullet.Show Notes:Peter Van Doren and David Kemp, Nuclear Power in the Context of Climate Change, Cato Institute Working Paper, April 27, 2023. https://www.cato...2025-08-0531 minCato PodcastAtomic EconomicsPeter Van Doren and David Kemp bring libertarian skepticism to the bipartisan political support for nuclear power.

Was bedeutet Künstliche Intelligenz für den Unternehmenserfolg – und wie lässt sich ihr Einsatz mit Werten und Kultur vereinbaren? In der 50. Folge des F.A.Z.

(With Peter Van Doren)Peter Van Doren argues that consumers correctly consider fuel costs when making vehicle-buying decisions. However, CAFE standards cannot be justified as correcting some sort of consumer failure to appreciate fuel savings. The idea that CAFE reduces carbon emissions is slightly more reasonable, but it is a very indirect, inefficient and regressive method. For these reasons, it is difficult to not side with Trumps’ negative view of CAFE.What is CAFE? How does regulation affect markets? How did Richard Nixon use price controls?

However, even in a city like Washington, D.C., only “700,000 people use the public metro rail system in comparison to the 5 million who commute downtown by car.” Van Doren argues that mass transit spending grew the most under the Nixon presidency because it made the most political sense.
