Finland's undependable wind and solar demonstrate why reliable nuclear and hydro are the key to fossil-free electricity, as they are around the world.

Good news, people of Denmark! You can now watch the film "Nuclear Now" on Filmstriben for free. Thanks to Johan Christian Sollid and Atomkraft Ja Tak for making this happen. Will Denmark have a bright future with nuclear energy? fjernleje.filmstriben.dk/film/900000654…

Four large reactors built on time and within budget by the South Koreans, in UAE. Nuclear power is the faster, least expensive, and safest way to decarbonize a grid, as proven by multiple historical successes.

Just 1 nuclear plant built in 3 years? Yankee Rowe was the first commercial nuclear power plant in New England. It was built in two years, 1958 to 1960 (and ran for three decades, cheap and carbon-free). Correct me if my arithmetic is in error but I believe two years is in fact

Good community note attached to a Greenpeace post: Characterizing nuclear as slow, expensive, dangerous is in conflict with following facts: "slow": Latest reactor is Barakah. 5600 MW / 10 years. 560 MW /year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_n… "dangerous": One of safest sources of

"Nuclear Now" by Oliver Stone, cowritten by Joshua S. Goldstein, has won the Best Feature Documentary award at the 2024 BNP Paribas Green Film Festival in Krakow, Poland. As Poland gets off coal, it's jumping into nuclear power with both feet. nuclearnowfilm.com

Can't get this graph out of my mind. Over 50 years, no progress on decarbonization or an energy transition. Coal, oil, and gas are each still growing, and together are still more than 80% of world energy. Efforts to address climate change are simply a total failure to date.

Even more confusing, Millstone may soon serve data centers not MA grid. On Google Maps a spot on site is shown as "Proposed Site - 1.5M Square Foot Data Center" -- 8 Walmart Supercenters packed with computers. Great power source for them but just like taking the nuclear plant off

Great thread on Hanford, WA "cleanup" of harmless low-level radiation. Strikingly, the truly insane money going to this boondoggle could, if used to build nuclear power plants, replace all coal plants in the USA.

Today's LA Times front page story on young people's support for nuclear energy is a breath of fresh air after that paper's long antinuclear bias. Congrats to scientifically trained journalist Noah Haggerty! Heather Hoff is quoted enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/artic…
