I work with companies working on large and companies working on small.

You previously on Twitter asked for this type of nuclear discussion but rejected me and other professionals, calling us "advocates", apparently only an issue for nuclear professionals and not for, say, geothermal professionals

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.

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.

I know I'll get asked this, so here's the same two weeks with 20 GW of prematurely-closed German nuclear capacity imposed on top of lignite and hard coal.

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.

Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, has just made its first move into nuclear power: it is partnering with PG&E's recently-saved Diablo Canyon Nuclear plant to build AI inside the plant.

The deal is being announced right now.

Here's Reuters on the story:

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.
