From Texas to Tokyo, this five-part docuseries shows how politicians and corporate avarice weakened our most critical network — and why we need fission to fix i
“The International Energy Agency chief has criticised Europe for falling behind China and the US after making “two historic monumental mistakes” in energy policy, by relying on Russian gas and turning away from nuclear power.”

The global nuclear comeback is real, even in Japan, where the accident at Fukushima Daiichi still looms large in the public’s consciousness. For proof of that comeback, we went to Canada, where a tall, Toronto-based emergency room doctor named Chris Keefer ignited a groundswell of support to expand and refurbish Ontario’s fleet of nuclear reactors.

Check out this clip from Juice The Series describing the history of Osage land, and the mineral rights that lie just beneath the surface. Enel has been collecting $10 million in Federal tax credits, despite the fact that they haven't sold a single watt-hour of electricity. #osage #osagenation #enel #wind #windenergy #solar

To produce one wind turbine requires 900 tons of steel, 2500 tons of concrete and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic, which then have to be transported long distances, all of which requires fuel. None of the things that go in a wind turbine are renewable, they're eventually going to wear out. Check out this clip from Juice The Series for more:

In Washington State, residents pay about 11 cents per kilowatt-hour for electricity.
In Oregon, they pay 13 cents.
But in California; they pay almost 30 cents!

Enron Corporation may have declared bankruptcy in 2001, but the company’s effect on America’s electric grid can still be seen today in states like California and Texas, where power prices are soaring and reliability is declining. #electricity#electricgrid#alternativeenergy #nuclear #solar #wind

If homeownership is the cornerstone of America's middle class, particularly in America, then the lack of homeownership participation has been exacerbated by California's housing, energy and environmental policies. #homeownership#realestate#california#texas#electricity #electricgrid

The push to treat electricity as a commodity instead of a service is particularly punishing in California, where electricity prices are increasing three times faster than in the rest of the U.S. If homeownership is the cornerstone of America's middle class, particularly in America, then the lack of homeownership participation has been exacerbated by California's housing, energy and environmental policies.

Episode 4 covers Fukushima, as well as several people that experienced the event first hand. I’d recommend watching it before passing judgement. In terms of deaths, only two people died at the Fukushima plant, and it wasn’t due to radiation exposure - they drowned. People tend to forget over 20k tied as a result of a tsunami.
Nuclear reactors aren’t just symbols of progress, they are our “industrial cathedrals.” Building more reactors won’t be cheap, quick, or easy. The challenge is enormous. So is the opportunity.

Texas and California's blackouts happened for different reasons, that are as Jennifer Hernandez says, "are consistent with the character of each state."

Check out this clip from Juice The Series. In February 2021, millions of Texans lost power, and the state’s grid came within four or five minutes of a total failure that would have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. It’s hard to overstate the importance –– and complexity –– of our electric grid. But how did our most important energy network get weakened? And what can we do to fix it? #electricity #electricgrid #alternativeenergy #greenenergy #nuclear #greenenergy

California has the highest electricity rates in the country coupled w/frequent blackouts. So why are the largest environmental groups advocating to shutter existing nuclear in the state? Are they going for the high prices/more blackouts/more fossil fuels trifecta?
