#Indiefilm about young startups developing next-gen #nuclear#tech & the role it could play in fighting #climatechange|now available @itunes @vimeo @PrimeVideo!
Friend & director of "The New Fire" #nuclear doc David Schumacher visited today, told me about his amazing experience at #CEMMI2019 in Vancouver last week, and INSISTED i read Canada's SMR Roadmap https://t.co/e2DCciWTyD As @J_Lovering points out, p. 42: "Canada is good at this."
"Both Shell and Chevron rejected the report's findings and reinforced their commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and addressing climate change." Oh really? What commitment? BP forecasts burning 80Mb/d of oil globally in its 2040 accelerated transition scenario. Disgraceful!
Every year, the world's five largest publicly owned oil and gas companies spend approximately $200 million on lobbying designed to control, delay or block binding climate-motivated policy.
This is about the people vs. the elites.

. @Caorilne: Nuclear plants are actually safer than riding a bike. One could argue that Nuclear is safer than renewables -- people die falling of the roofs installing solar panels -- and nuclear's death rates are actually arguably the lowest of any energy source.
We are a group of enthusiastic people working in adv fission, worried about environment, & excited the #GreenNewDeal has the goal of clean energy. We have to use all we can! Thanks @aoc, @sunrisemvmt, @SenMarkey, @CoryBooker, & thx all for hosting this discussion in the Senate.
Splitting the difference right now between the GOP and the Democrats on the subject of #climateaction is to guarantee eco-suicide. And so, "moderation" cannot merely be centrism. @Sullydish via @NYMag https://t.co/rJhNI26p42
"When AOC’s critics say her idea is preposterously expensive and unnecessarily socialist (as it is), she is perfectly right to ask: So what’s your alternative?"

@sullydish Great piece in @NYMag on the key role nuclear energy could play in fighting climate change. Find out more about Advanced Nuclear tech and the climate heroes behind it in @NewFireMovie featuring @DrJamesHansen, Jeffrey Sachs @BillGates. https://t.co/cJWPuIZRd6
I was on a panel last week in the Senate with climate scientists, Ashley Finan of @theNIAorg, and @NewFireMovie director David Schumacher.
It was standing room only to talk about climate and advanced fission!
Thanks to hosts: @CoryBooker & @SenWhitehouse & staffs!
Atomkraft als Lösung für den Klimawandel? Der Film @NewFireMovie stellt junge Ingenieure vor, die daran glauben (VoD https://t.co/d3cRNcPseL) & die SZ diskutiert die Idee einer vierten Generation der Kernkraft hier ausführlich https://t.co/bpdsVZqM9V
Anti-nukes like @mzjacobson, @ElizabethMay say #nuclear take too long. But want to replace nukes with #renewables. replacing CO2-free with CO2-free, wasting time. Do not take seriously, they contradict themselves and lie. Great job, @NewFireMovie. https://t.co/fGz9ptFihI
