(MP3)
Be sure and listen to another great episode of America's Business with Mike Hambrick! We have some great guests this week on some very important issues.
Last episode we spoke with a spokesperson from Areva Corp., a nuclear company based in France about recent developments Areva is making at bringing more nuclear power to America. This week we'll start the first of a three part discussions with journalists Tyler Suites who is the Chief Correspondent for Clean Skies TV, Chris Gadomski who is Managing Editor of Nuclear, New Energy Finance, and Jim Synder from the Hill on the future of nuclear power in America and recent progress it has made.
Also on the program this week is Mark Deo, Executive Director of the Small Business Advisory Council. Mark is here this week to discuss a new program that could really help out some small businesses that are being hurt by the economic downturn the US is facing right now. The EPA is considering new policy to impose on America's businesses; misguided policies that would be counter productive to economic growth.
This week we have Roger Martella of the Environmental Practice Group at Sidley Austin LLP to give us some insight into these policies and what they could mean. Roger has served as General Counsel for the EPA and has good idea of what could happen to America if these policies are made into law.
The economic downturn might have put some of America's businesses in a tough spot, but don't tell that to them. Optimism is high that this ship will be righted and America will work itself out of these times. This was indicated in a new survey conducted on America's business leaders. We'll hear from Wally Gruenes of Grant Thorton to tell us more about the results of this survey.
All this and more on this edition of America's Business!
