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

in a brutal push, if you started today, you could get there by end of 2032

Apologies Alon

Three plants would be very fast, like, by end of 2028 if you started today; nine reactors total including these three would still be faster and significantly cheaper to restart than new-build (which is slow and expensive, sadly).

I was in Brokdorf including in the containment just days ago and can thoroughly reject Alon's claim that it's too late.

Fortunately for Germany and fortunately for Europe!

I would not presume to know transit like Alon; I am not sure where he has gotten his nuclear reactor information.

depending on the item, can mean disassembled or completely destroyed

I am glad it is not surprising to you, a professional grid expert

This is a part of the country that has been driving corporate and Democratic climate policy, shut down several nuclear plants, and is home to large NGOs that are still deeply confused on energy issues

Oil-burning reminders are good

chilling with 40 years of nuclear waste yesterday inches away from me at Diablo Canyon

Thanks for the reply - evidence...?

I hear your founder loud and clear and see all the articles on your website.

Am I missing some super secret behind the scenes thing that contradicts this?

My sincere apologies to anti-nuclear RMI, who indeed as of June 2024 no longer controls Carry Media which publicized this bad solar study.

Canary chooses their own editorial standards and this just tells us what those standards are.

RMI doesn't control Canary! Completely independent these days. I think this is one of those stories that goes back to the GTM days, which is where most of these folks are from!

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.

Well I guess they may just have more in mind then.

For security reasons, nuclear plants are "air gapped", disconnected from outside networks.

This limits the use of powerful AI in working with immense amounts of data being generated by the plant's reactor and other systems.

Solution? Bring the AI inside.
