It’s absolutely incredible how much French ppl hates Macron. All I can say is in recent years (yes he was a filthy reactor-closer earlier in his administration) he’s been pointing things in the right direction. His recent speech about how Europe is in mortal danger is very based…

Anti-nuclear protestors in Taiwan today: what a difference a few years make. They have no numbers and it looks like very poor energy. Doesn’t help that they got rained on. And no…I have no idea why they are wriggling on the ground!

According to ppl on the scene there’s less…

Unfortunately I heard some similar talk from some thought leaders today at the forum: “we should think about how we can control electricity usage in the future. TSMC building plants abroad may mean their demand growth will not be so aggressive in the future.”

I say NO to…

Unnamed bureaucrat to me at the energy forum: “I worry about you. By supporting both nuclear and renewable energy you will just end up being hated by both sides. Maybe we will be able to life extend some existing reactors, but we are not going to be able to build any more. We…

This makes big legal changes based on the constitution especially flimsy and lacking in authority in my opinion.

BASED PROF YEH! You can’t say Taiwan isn’t concerned about the energy issue and nobody is a better voice on advocating the life extension of our reactors than Prof Yeh Tsung-kuang.

🙏to all those who saved Diablo Canyon because professor Yeh is using that as the example for why…

On the 38th anniversary of Chernobyl, let’s revisit the facts of the damage from the medical authority who was there on the ground.

For many years he stayed silent on the truth: that Chernobyl’s radiologic impact simply wasn’t as extensive as many feared. He didn’t want to stand…

Another nuclear plant in the UAE 🇦🇪 by 2032? The planning just got announced. Will it be the Koreans again to build? Not necessarily. US, China and Russia all still in the mix.

Honestly good for China on this. Africa needs nuclear.

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it

they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting.

YIMBY policies work

Tomorrow Taiwan’s anti-nuclear activists are going to be gathering to call for Taiwan’s last nuclear power plants to go offline as planned. I was going to go and check it out as an observer but cannot because there’s a one-day energy forum to attend.

I’m really curious tho if…

KMT LEGISLATORS STAND UP FOR NUCLEAR — how I wish I could write “multipartisan legislator stand up for nuclear instead.” But just the fact that Taiwan’s largest opposition party is coming out strongly to advocate for the lifting of extension of Taiwan’s existing reactors brings…

Press conference at the legislative yuan in less than an hour! I got my photo props and and am getting loaded up on carbs and caffeine (sweet potato FTW) and ready to go into battle for saving Maanshan (and more)

There’s a chance that the death penalty might be found unconstitutional by the court in Taiwan. Abolishing the death penalty would be very much in line with Taiwan’s progressive reputation and the DPP’s own party constitution. There’s just one problem: the people of Taiwan…

STILL IN IT TO WIN IT! 🇰🇷⚛️🇨🇿

For a while it looked like that the French were going to waltz away with the Czech new-build tender for up to 4 reactors. Deadline for the bid was April 14, it’s down between France’s EDF and Korea’s KHNP, but it looks like Korea is still fighting…

Angelica: I should focus on eating more protein and go to the gym less.

Also Angelica: oh it’s a cheesecake-stuffed croissant topped with soft serve. Guess I better do an hour on the elliptical today.
