🌊 NEW PODCAST EPISODE: The Cost of Flooding 🌊 Flooding is one of the most pressing climate-related challenges of our time, with devastating impacts on communities, businesses, and ecosystems. In this episode of The Cost of Everything, I investigate the direct, indirect, and long-term financial implications of flooding—from damaged homes and infrastructure to the ripple effects such as climate gentrification. Key Highlights: 💡 The price of past UK floods and why costs are expected to soar in the future. 💡 Innovative solutions, from flood defenses to nature-based strategies, and the vital role of cost estimators in supporting long-term effective decision-making. 💡 Global perspectives: How countries like the Netherlands, Germany and China are dealing with flood resilience. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/eACTMZEV #Flooding #CostOfEverything #ClimateResilience #Podcast #Economics

🎙️ New Episode Alert: "The Cost of Small Modular nuclear Reactors (SMRs): Promise, Challenges, and Viability" In the latest episode of The Cost of Everything, I look into the buzz around Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and explore their potential as a game-changer in nuclear energy. SMRs promise flexibility, quicker build times, and scalability, but how do they stack up financially in an industry traditionally challenged by cost overruns and lengthy timelines? Key topics discussed: 🔆 The Economics of SMRs – What makes SMRs different from traditional nuclear reactors in terms of cost, scalability, and deployment? 🔆 Path to Commercial Viability – Discussing the World Economic Forum’s recent white paper on accelerating SMR deployment and the role of public-private partnerships. 🔆 Advanced Applications – Learn about SMR applications in new sectors, from decarbonising maritime shipping to powering long-term space missions. 🔆 Future Fuel Cycles – How SMRs could pave the way for Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) and closed fuel cycles that minimise waste and reuse spent fuel. This episode is a must-listen for cost estimators, project managers, and nuclear industry professionals who want to understand the economics and future potential of SMRs as a cleaner, more flexible energy solution. 🎧 Listen now to get a comprehensive view of the real costs, benefits, and challenges of bringing SMRs to scale! #CostEstimation #SMRs #NuclearEnergy #CostEngineering #SustainableEnergy #TheCostOfEverything #Podcast https://lnkd.in/esEWcRxv
