What drives civilizational abundance and prosperity is cheap energy. Hydrocarbons are the reason life is better than the past. Synthetic Fuels can let us keep using cheap hydrocarbons at net-zero, by using the atmosphere as a giant carbon battery. Here's how 🧵

Is Nuclear Energy Good For The Environment? | Aidan Morrison Aidan Morrison Nuclear power takes centre stage in Australia’s energy debate, offering a strong environmental advantage over renewables.

The state of Louisiana has managed to reduce its Hepatitis C death rate by nearly a sixth in just a few years through a clever public health program🧵

Anthony Klan No this ⬆️ is a lie. Home battery storage (CER) is excluded, which comes with an unsubsidised cost of ~$140 billion. Or, if you make the assumption every household in Australia gets an EV, there's no cost assumed to pay those EV owners for their power. There's also no cost

Incredible. 💧simon holmes à court 🦋 is so confident, yet so wrong. P 59 states that the LCOE can "only answer a narrow range of questions". Table 6-1 shows that all those questions are entirely about investors. Sam Berridge is right. Even before we get to GenCost's actual mistakes,

Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA UC San Francisco Cant believe we are still sharing this, I guess just because it has a institutional tag on it. Poor study. Used a linear no-threshold (LNT) model, it's standard in regulatory contexts, extrapolating from high-dose data to low-dose clinical imaging has many uncertainties. These

Buckle up... I think this is the worst energy disinformation of the election campaign. We have a group arguing that transitioning to nuclear is going to eliminate electricity-intensive industry. Only wind, solar, and batteries can save aluminium. 1/ renewaustraliaforall.org/wp-content/upl…

You would struggle to find a more depressing election campaign. No one has any vision or ambition for the future it’s all just bribing voters and kicking the can down the road.

Aidan does a great job articulating the issues with Osmonds simulation

How do you treat voltage in your model?

This is funny and sad. Secretary Wright's post is so silly and unsophisticated, and yet Twitter's Community Noters managed to find a way to miss the argument entirely and "rebut" with an even more unsophisticated response. It's just all so tiresome. 😞 But let's break it down🧵

“Almost no one”

And why did that chain occur but for a dispatch mix that had too many renewables and not enough other stuff that provided the controls needed? Can always count on Ember to give this spin 😂

Pat Conroy MP Bring back Bob Hawke

A nuclear Christmas Carol: the best time to have built a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now. Don't wait. Happy Christmas!

Nuclear waste shipping casks have been through a hell of a lot of testing. Now with Red Alert music.

Reliability is part of affordability. The cheapest energy is meaningless if the system can’t deliver it when it’s 10 degrees and demand is spiking.
