Come on Apple, you can't let this stand, can you? Getting beaten by Samsung in the SMR game!

It is, but that's the game, no? We need to completely decarbonize, not just decarbonize our electricity. It's not enough to get to 40% clean energy sources in total and then throw your hands up and say well, here no need to build any new nuclear

This is infuriating!
Finland still uses 33% fossil fuels AND burns ancient forests for 31% of their energy.
Europe still uses 70% fossil fuels overall.
But put the brakes on new nuclear; those fossil fuels are too cheap to beat.
We are so fucking cooked

I can never remember how many yards tall the nuclear waste could be stacked in a football field!
@whatisnuclear.com must be able to remember this stuff off the top of his head

We cannot close a reactor for no good reason, driving up gas prices and outbidding poorer countries. We're at war with a gas-producing nation! It should be treason to intentionally drive up gas prices.
Restart Doel-1!

We don't need baseload power, we'll just have micro-grids, and a combination of solar, wind, batteries, hydro, interconnected hydrogen grids, and strategically reduce demand in certain areas based on a smart meter system

I love how the new nuclear projects in Europe are at these beautiful Mediterranean spots, but every new nuclear project in the US is at like at the ruralest sundown city you can imagine

This is a very real problem, people having no sense of wanting to make a bunch of money!!
Once this repository is up, it will be the historical Wyoming waste repository and people will protest it's removal.
You just need a few key people to be bold enough to want to make some fucking money!

I had missed this! Let's go Ghana, I cannot wait for this project to be properly underway. Ghana deserves nuclear so much!

It was great going to the @standupfornuclear.org protest in Belgium, but depressing that there's so many of them for closures of nuclear power plants. Unbelievable that gas is getting this handout in 2025!!

Please just give me the nuclear battery. all I hear are press releases, but nobody can explain to me why I can't already have the nuclear battery, just give it to me

One simple trick to go from 15.5 tons of CO2 emissions per person (Australia) to 4.7 tons 😇

Now, in this election year, Merkel's party, the CDU, now they're reconsidering their energy mix.
Not in 2022 when we were all screaming at them to please pause the phaseout, for fucks sake

I'm glad that nuclear is holding firm, but for fusion :/

So much funding going to AI over non-fossil-fuel sources is um, how you say, not so good

I wonder how this working paper stacks up 6 years later -
They find the social cost of the phase-out to producers and consumers to be $12 billion per year. Most of the costs fall to consumers, and most is in increased mortality risk from air pollution exposure.
