On this week's episode, we’ll discuss humanity's future on Earth and in space from an energy and climate policy perspective. We’ll also cover how space mining factors into visions of off-Earth living and what strategies might be employed for better shared resource management in space.
My guest on the show, Alex Gilbert, is a complex systems researcher focusing on space mining, climate policy, energy markets, and nuclear innovation. Much of his work centers around evaluating how institutions develop and adopt clean energy and other advanced natural resource technologies at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. Alex also collaborates with the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines on research related to energy, environment, and outer space governance and is pursuing a PhD in Space Resources at the Colorado School of Mines, where he researches space resource governance, environmental protection, and space nuclear power. He is also Adjunct Faculty at Johns Hopkins University where he co-teaches a course on nuclear power technology and regulation.
