Nuclear power is the safest energy source ever built.
The fear of it has cost more lives than the technology ever has.
Deaths per terawatt-hour of energy produced:
Coal: 24.6
Oil: 18.4
Gas: 2.8
Hydro: 1.3
Wind: 0.04
Nuclear: 0.03
Nuclear is safer than wind.
Safer than solar (rooftop installation deaths).
60x safer than natural gas.
Chernobyl killed 31 people directly.
The WHO estimates fewer than 4,000 long-term deaths, in the absolute worst nuclear accident in history.
Meanwhile, air pollution from coal kills 800,000 people every year.

On January 28, we honor the seven crew members of Challenger - Dick Scobee, Michael Smith, Ron McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Christa McAuliffe, and Greg Jarvis - lost 40 years ago today.
We honor their legacy by staying vigilant, humble, and uncompromising in the pursuit of our world-changing missions.
Oklo × Meta
Oklo and @Meta have signed an agreement to advance the development of a nuclear energy campus in Pike County, Ohio, designed to scale up to 1.2 gigawatts.
The agreement includes a binding prepayment to support fuel procurement, enabling Oklo to advance early project work and secure fuel—adding new, clean, reliable power to the grid without shifting infrastructure costs to existing residents or businesses.
The project lays the groundwork for multiple Oklo Aurora powerhouses, thousands of construction and long-term jobs, expansion of Ohio’s clean energy workforce, and long-term investment in local and state energy infrastructure.
