What if all the problems with nuclear could be magicked away?

All the technical problems, all the cost problems, all the "unforeseen" delay problems, all the toxic waste problems

Just like that 🪄🎩

[Oklo @oklo]

What if the materials we currently treat as nuclear waste could help power the future?

Oklo Co-Founder and COO @caorilne joined Madison Hilly on ZeroHedge for a conversation on fuel recycling, advanced nuclear, isotope production, and the growing demand for clean, reliable energy.

From the untapped energy in used nuclear fuel to the infrastructure needed for AI and industrial growth, they discuss how advanced nuclear can strengthen America’s energy future.

Great to visit Turvey Allotments in Donabate and see the fantastic work being done by volunteers and growers. With 220 allotments, a focus on biodiversity and support from the Community Climate Action Fund, it’s a great example of climate action making a real difference locally

Opinion vs facts

@HighFarndale CO2 concentrations are 50% higher than they were 200 years ago and this is causing massive disruption to our climate that we depend on for so many natural processes

CH4 has half life on 10 yrs and is 85 times more damaging than CO2

Need to sequester not recycle to fix problem

🗣️ “This is only going to distort the market.”

People driving older petrol and diesel cars could receive up to €8,500 towards a new electric vehicle under a proposed scrappage scheme.

But critics say the focus should be on building out charging infrastructure.

"Farmers and industry will invest where there is clarity, recognition and return. But if innovation is not properly recognised in the system, then adoption will lag. Climate ambition without regulatory follow-through is not a strategy."

@paulcolgan "A string of senior Government figures have recently suggested that, in light of the instability seen in the Gulf and rising oil prices, Ireland should consider abandoning its opposition to nuclear power."

In light of lobbying by Oligarch funded think tank would be more accurate

@Keyes The most insightful comment in the article, “Rather than focusing on things they could be doing right now, they are saying let’s talk about this big thing in the future, let’s have a row about that instead.”

Will be 2040 before decision can be made on SMR +20 years to build

1/ NEW: The net zero economy is now supporting:

✅Over 1m jobs
✅£105bn in GVA
✅22,000 small businesses

This analysis from @CBItweets is a reminder that net zero is a great British success story. And exactly why this Government is doubling down.

[Theresa May @theresa_may]

The net zero economy now supports 1.1m UK jobs and generates £105bn in economic value - proof that tackling climate change & growing the economy can go hand in hand.

Carbon Budget 7 laid in Parliament today provides certainty to help unlock more investment and energy security.

@IrishFarmer001 @JamesOConnorTD We need solutions that can be delivered in 5 years

Nuclear will take at least 25

Then there's the cost issue

Canada is planning to build 1.2GW of nuclear for about €15 Billion (probably much more)

Ireland is half way toward building 9GW of wind power for about €15 Billion

[Darragh O'Brien @DarraghOBrienTD]

Ireland’s emissions are now below 1990 levels despite having 1.5 million more people and a growing economy. It shows we can continue to grow and develop while reducing emissions, but we know there is more to do and we’re determined to go further

[Bigger Better Faster More Climate Action : Game On @GameOnClimate]

@18for0 How does that address the actual problem with nuclear, namely the excessive cost, the excessive build time, and the excessive burden that will be placed on future generations to cope with the residual toxic waste?

[Bigger Better Faster More Climate Action : Game On @GameOnClimate]

@RichieHayes2 Not only are they achievable, our economy will be hamstrung in the 2030s and 2040s if we don't achieve them

You misunderstand the issue around RCP 8.5

https://t.co/jBxV1GR8Mz

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

I've got to say that I'm really disappointed in the recent discourse surrounding the RCP8.5 scenario. The lack of context and understanding is something I expected from the usual suspects, but it's frustrating to see such bad takes from people and outlets who should know better.

[Bigger Better Faster More Climate Action : Game On @GameOnClimate]

@JamesOConnorTD @rtenews How much will nuclear cost?

How long will it take to build?

How much of a subsidy will the Irish taxpayer have to stump up?

Why do you neglect to mention the Finnish experience with Olkiluoto 3, how much it cost French and Finnish taxpayers, and why they cancelled Olkiluoto 4?

[Bigger Better Faster More Climate Action : Game On @GameOnClimate]

@irl_willbert @EwanMacKenna The racket being run by the fossil fuel producers has indeed always been a scam

The biggest increases in inflation have been due to oil crises

Some criticise the BAU model for being off, but this misunderstands the fact that we have been reducing emissions so BAU doesn't apply
