A few months ago I wrote a story called Carbon Removal's Existential Question, where I reported on a seeming divide over how to define what carbon removal is. Today's piece is a follow-up looking at a new company trying to unite the industry around a single standard. heatmap.news/climate/abso...

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

We need to speak plainly and not about high principles or institutions but impacts. The weather is getting worse and more dangerous. The summers are more scorching, and the floods are higher -stop talking about science and stop talking about how dumb other people are for not agreeing with us

So far the conversation about AI and nuclear has focused on the demand from big tech to lock up clean, firm megawatts for years to come.

Atomic Canyon is flipping this dynamic on its head, by focusing on how AI can help usher in a new golden era for nuclear power.
