I don't think it's crazy to suspect that Iran's tepid response indicates that they successfully moved the necessary nuclear components and will now weaponize as quickly as they can. The lesson here is that they desperately need nuclear defense & they'll keep their heads down until they get it.

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:
solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.
this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.
