as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

In what I believe is a first, Constellation is offering retail customers a 100% nuclear product. I assume the energy comes from existing reactors, not new capacity, meaning this has no additionality or consequential reduction in CO2 emissions, but I'm fascinated to see if people bite on this...
