Life goal of mine-->sing opera inside a cooling tower.

Last month, IT HAPPENED.
And I filmed a music video.

Here's a taste, with the full video in the comments!

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by anti-nuclear groups to block the restart of the Palisades plant. They tried to argue that restarting a plant that had started decommissioning is llegal. Article link in reply.

Contrary to these groups' claim that restart would be dangerous, this is a victory for the environment and public health.

Not allowing nuclear plant restarts would result in a similar amount of fossil fuel generation in their place. Fossil power generation is orders of magnitude more dangerous and harmful than nuclear power. Thus, NOT allowing nuclear restarts would have an overwhelmingly negative net environmental (climate and public) impact.

This is something that these dogmatic anti-nuclear groups will never understand. Against the scientific consensus, they think nuclear is far more dangerous than fossil. They prefer fossil over nuclear. I have no patience for such people. They're environmental criminals as far as I'm concerned.

@zacharywefel Amen to that.

Great video! I need to practice my Spanish.

Look at those crowds standing up for nuclear in Spain!

Sí Almaraz!! 💪🏼♥️⚛️🌍

Sex is good but have you tried saving California’s only nuclear plant and sticking it to the boomer anti-nuclear environmentalists?

Yesterday, our Founder Will Shackel was arrested for starting construction of Australia's first nuclear power plant.

If found guilty of breaching Australia's nuclear power ban, he'll face up to 7 years jail time.

@whatisnuclear I bet that setup really whipped the llamas ass!

@Dr_Keefer Fun exercise: go through and mentally add a
"...so far" or "...as of now" at the end of each of paragraph.

Skepticism is warranted though. A lot to prove.

@Dr_Keefer Name a taller collab, I'll wait

[isabelle 🪐 @isabelleboemeke]

Thanks for admitting the obvious, but how was the entire world duped into thinking closing down nuclear was a good idea?

Why were Twitter anons and nuclear bros right about this, while energy experts and world leaders were so impossibly wrong?

And the most important question:
What are they going to do to fix this?

@Chapter4Travels @Gen_Atomic Maybe so... I think it'll be whatever we get good at building, which will also be what we can finance.

2026 Nuclear Wishlist: Regulators, Reactors, and Restarts

[James Hopf @HopfJames]

Japan's opposition leader is advocating the restart of all "available" nuclear plants, in response to the Iran war. Article link in reply.

The current ruling party is also pro-nuclear. Great to see both Japanese parties supporting nuclear power!

After closing their nuclear plants, Japan has relied on imported fossil fuels to generate electricity. Much of those imports come from the Persian Gulf. Thus there may be price spikes, or outright shut off, of those fuels. That may result in increased power costs for Japan.

The sentiment is great, but there needs to be less talk and more action. Restarts have been taking far too long. They need to reduce the amount of hoops that closed plants have to go through. They never should have been closed in the first place.

More generally, zero risk tolerance, for one technology only, needs to end. Higher public acceptance of fossil sources that are orders of magnitude more harmful is crazy and indefensible.

[Adam Stein @Dr_A_Stein]

Two new papers claim nuclear plants increase cancer risk. That sounds alarming.
But they are not studies of radiation exposure. They are studies of geographic proximity and do not provide valid results. 🧵

Last week, Gov. @KellyAyotte gave her State of the State address, and we're not bragging but #nuclear got a standing ovation.

She wants to "ensure [New Hampshire] is at the forefront of this pivotal technology." 👏 👇
