HOUSTON: Tech giants are joining together with heavy energy users to support the Triple Nuclear by 2050 pledge.
Just announced, with the signing event later today at the CERAWeek global energy conference.
Everyone is realizing that, in the end, we are all baseload.

Merz: "It is necessary to reach a moratorium on dismantling"
In a live national press conference minutes ago, incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called for a nuclear dismantling moratorium.
This is the first step to saving German nuclear plants and restarting them.

Yes it's called being powered almost entirely by local nuclear plants for the past forty years, incredible and timely sleuthing from Canary Media
As of January 1, every single one of Chicago’s more than 400 municipal buildings — including 98 fire stations, two international airports, and two of the largest water treatment plants on the planet — are running on renewable energy.
Here's how:
Here's how:
In Chicago, all city buildings now use 100 percent clean power
Chicago is one of several U.S. cities that are taking advantage of their bulk-buying power to spur new carbon-free energy development and meet climate…

New report out: Germany can restart 3 reactors by 2028, 9 by 2032.
Four key graphics summarize:
1. Current physical status of German nuclear
2. Timeline and scale if nuclear returns
3. Nuclear map and restart difficulty
4. German support for nuclear

German utility execs who champion the Energiewende are starting to panic after this month's shocking 12-day wind drought.
RWE CEO Markus Krebber posted a desperate plea for more "secure" power supplies this morning on LinkedIn.
The situation is coming to a breaking point.

Outstanding thread forensically deconstructing a garbage-tier "study" claiming to show that there somehow isn't a cost shift happening from poor to rich via California solar.

Alright friends, so I have spent some time diving into the spreadsheet from this particular report, and I'll be reporting some of the more interesting findings:

If you're wondering how actual utilities and installers feel about "advanced conductors" I had a long talk about it with some overhead lines experts and: it's negative

This is Germany. Electricity. First two weeks of November.
166 GW of installed onshore, offshore, and solar PV provided next to nothing for days at a time.
Almost no sun or wind across the entire European continent.
Germany has tried to get all of Europe to copy this energy policy.

we got the electricity grid Bene Gesserit over here
Critical to remember here for non-utility folks that we measure reliability in decades - if a repair splice only lasts ten years we consider that a failure. If a conductor lasts 20, that's abysmal

At COP29 a few moments ago the USA just dropped a 200GW nuclear roadmap.
As recently as 2016 nuclear wasn't even welcome as a topic at COP and now we have climate-focused governments dropping era-defining nuclear plans there?
It's a new world.
