Blades, Bucks, Gas & Nuclear Power: From Blade Show West to Utah’s Energy Future In this episode of Behind The Anvil, Michael Peterson and Brad sit down for another wide-ranging conversation that goes from knives and hunting to fuel prices, technology, military security, and the future of energy in Utah. Michael talks about his recent trip to Blade Show West, meeting industry contacts, checking out other makers, and gathering plenty of inspiration. They also discuss the upcoming move of the show to Indiana while the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City undergoes its massive renovation. From there, the conversation takes a turn toward the economy and the price of fuel. With gas pushing nearly $5 a gallon and diesel even higher, Michael and Brad discuss refinery closures in California, refining capacity, storage, regulations, and what may really be driving fuel prices. And because this is Behind The Anvil, the conversation doesn't stay on one subject for long! They get into California politics and investigations, Iran, military security in Britain, warning labels and safety regulations, technology's effect on dating and relationships, and the differences they're seeing between generations. Brad also shares the story of his recent pronghorn hunt, including a heart-stopping moment when his bow limb delaminated during the shot. The guys talk hunting techniques, exotic hunts, whitetails, and even the debate over introducing modern technology to indigenous communities. Finally, they turn their attention to something hitting close to home: Utah's energy future. Michael and Brad discuss Valor Atomics' plans for small modular nuclear reactors near Price, Utah, the decline of Utah's coal industry, solar manufacturing, and whether nuclear power could be part of the solution to America's growing energy needs. It's another episode where you truly never know where the conversation is going to go! Listen in as Michael and Brad talk blades, bucks, gas prices, technology, politics, and nuclear power—all from the perspective of two guys just trying to make sense of what's happening around them.
