German Greens have an IQ problem👇

To highlight wind intermittency, my annual Ontario, 🇨🇦Canada radial graph showing nuclear and TX-connected wind generation for every hour of 2024! After doing this for four years, I have settled on the two-scale equi-proportionate radial area presentation (check out notes)

By relying on nuclear power, France achieves a record of 95% carbon-free electricity production in 2024. Meanwhile in Germany….

The adults in the room have finally asserted some control. VC Summer 2 should be renamed - VC Phoenix 2. Huge news👏👏👏

TVA de-risking FOAK reactors (of any scale) is big news. Bookmark this--many more projects to follow as soon as the tech becomes commercially financeable.

Nice one United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory

When people ask us the impact of the plant on the environment… This was filmed by our biologists 100 yards (91.44 meters) from the intake.

This has to be one of the biggest ideas I've ever seen: a nuclear-powered Agro-Industrial complex. ✅ 1 billion gallons of fresh water / day from the sea ✅ 2 GW of electricity ✅ 300k-acre food factory ✅ phosphorous via electric furnace for fertilizer ✅ food for 6 million

Truth can be hard to swallow sometimes

Real value of nuclear power plant over lifetime, compared to cost of construction. 1:12 ratio of return even considering opex over 80y of 7bn eur.

Economics of BWRX-300 to best of our knowledge of early 2025.

Americans invented nuclear power. Americans dominated nuclear power. But we lost our edge. Time to dominate again. Great piece on how by retired engineer Joseph Somsel.

TN's ambition to lead in nuclear innovation is much bigger than just competing with other states - it's about securing America's future. Our nuclear strategy includes $10M for the Nuclear Energy Fund & $50M for SMR development on the Clinch River.

Now that’s a battery👇

Word👇Used fuel is not waste. It’s a resource we can use profitably including creating safe perpetual heat batteries.

When Rube Goldberg is your Systems Engineer👇

"Wind and solar are the cheapest source of energy" update.

Holtec plans to build 4 GW of SMR capacity in the 2030s, with much of it being in Utah and Wyoming. They also agreed to build a permanent training facility in Utah by 2028. The prefer Utah as the site for SMR fabrication facilities. Article link in reply. Utah has expressed

There's a lot of misinformation coming from the BBC, ITV and others claiming renewables are cheap. This short video shows that renewables are much more expensive than gas. Please share widely.
