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 😇

Gotta love this term. I too make a lot of decisions, in principle

Good name for all younger siblings out there trying to one-up their brother

So glad that calculators don't have search history

Does anyone know any Naarea people? I'm super intrigued by this new facility

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

Keir Starmer: build baby build "Environmentalists": bekergettek tátott szájjal a faszerdőbe ("they chased me into the dick-forest with a wide-open mouth”)

I'm new to the Russian gas promotional anthem, but now I must share this catchy tune with the rest of you youtu.be/xGbI87tyr_4?...

This felt like a finale, but now there's the terrible direct-to-DVD sequel

Nuclear materials engineers 🤝 women in their 20s self-healing crystals

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.

Ukraine is trying to build new nuclear power plants during a war really puts the objections of other countries to shame

loneliness is still time spent with the world

Let's celebrate all women instead

Date nights now after I got a new project at work

2024 was just an insanely overpowered year for discovering new bio components and stuff that apparently exists in the universe

Belgian leaders must abolish the 2003 nuclear phaseout law and ensure the continued operation of all feasible reactors. 2024 was the hottest year on record, & the first to officially breach 1.5°C of warming, the case for urgent action is clearer than ever. Event details linked below.

If Westinghouse gets a microreactor on the moon before we get a commercial microreactor on EARTH, the objectively best planet in the galaxy, I just don't know what I'll do with myself

So many people - and politicians - wants these super clear answers, will nuclear drive electricity prices down? Do countries with nuclear have lower electricity prices? And nuclear helps, but this system is so complex, it's just not a one part solution

I want this but for a cocktail, like a slowly sweetened espresso martini

It's natural to focus on your home turf, but stuff like this, a big nuclear power plant getting the go-ahead in Pakistan, will really make the biggest climate impact. Good for China to export their technology, hopefully Pakistan can get their air quality under control

I really hope we get nuclear diamond batteries in my lifetime, for nature of course, but also diamonds are so... I love a substance that is so strong it can only be cut by the same material. Just the metaphor of it, how you forge the tools of your own destruction.

RIP the Inflation Reduction Act, one of the biggest pieces of environmental legislation of my lifetime, we didn't deserve you

This is really fascinating, I had no idea! More countries should embrace the Iceland approach of bathing in their power plant wastewater tbqh

I worry that I am getting too jaded. Years ago, I would have been so excited by this news. I remember that some people questioned the feasibility of reactors that could burn nuclear waste and not having enough examples handy. Now I question whether it will change anyone's mind, once it comes out.

Anti-nuclear campaigners are making some devastatingly good points in their new report 😭
