Thanks to Andrew Marquardt, nuclear professional, who gave an excellent presentation on nuclear energy and nuclear power today. It was easy to understand. This chart shows (for the US) the capacity of different forms of energy. It gives an important comparison among all the choices we have for energy going into the future.

June 1st we enjoyed hearing “Words from Betty”, who recently turned 90 years old. Betty led a good discussion regarding the recent court decision for Trump. Our main speaker was Jim Schultz, President of the MN Private Business Council. It was nice to hear an update from him on Minnesota, legislative and business issues, and an opportunity to ask questions. Our next meeting is Sat. Sept. 7 and the topic will be: Nuclear Power – A Conversation.
