THAT'S IT? This is what 20 years worth of spent nuclear fuel looks like safely stored at the former Maine Yankee nuclear plant.
The energy produced from this fuel helped avoid 70 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.

Nice overview of European countries that are eith pro or ant-nuclear, or somewhere in between. Italy reconsidering nuclear is a major shift and I think we'll see a colour change from Norway sooner rather than later 😉
North America used to have a huge railway system. The size of LA's metro system alone was twice the size of London's. What went wrong and does it have to be like this where you are stuck in traffic for hours on end every single day?
(No, it doesn't)
Nine months ago, Russell Gold wrote a story about what he called the Great Sweetwater Blade Boneyard. It was about a company that promised it would recycle wind turbine blades, but … didn’t. Speaking of promises, the head of Global Fiberglass, the company was paid to collect and recycle these blades (which it didn’t) told me: “If you come back nine months from now, you will not see the material.”
He went back after nine months. Guess what? The blades were still there.

“I have to say I changed my mind” Michael Douglas starred in The China Syndrome and was rabidly anti-nuclear for 40 years, admits that nuclear is a part of the way to solve climate change.
Better late than never!
@EU_Commission Hungary has proven to be quite the trojan horse 🙄
Never thought about this before, but it suddenly strikes me that there's a big parallel between the ridiculous amounts of student debts in the US (or their more general credit card debt culture) and financing the building of nuclear power plants. In the case of Hinkley Point C financing itself makes up 2/3 of all costs!
We need to fix financing across the board if we're to achieve a more equal, just, and clean society and environment.
A little drastic, but if it works, it works.
The fear of someone scratching their car always works better than explaining why safety needs to exist for other people to live or even survive.
This is extremely accurate, but if you point it out you’re a nUcleAr ShIlL tHaT hAtEs ReNeWaBlEs.

@dansup 30 seconds? That feels limiting 😬
@dansup will the videos be stred locally on the server, or are block devices (like Amazon S3) an option? This feels like something that can outgrow a server rather quickly.
BREAKING: LUXEMBOURG SEES A FUTURE FOR NUCLEAR POWER, SAYS PM
Mind blowing. Luxembourg has for decades waged a fear mongering campaign against nuclear. This is a major shift!
Found our spot!

On a day like this, I can’t NOT visit the Atomium. So, up I go!
Let’s go!
Gotta say, does look cool.
Wanna say hi to Grossi? 👋
Hi there, I'm posting a lot about nuclear energy, but I can branch out to:- Politics: I'm an 'orthodox' marxist. I'll probably use @Emil for those posts.- Esperantisto.- Environment: you know my pro-nuclear stance, but did you know I'm an ecomodernist?- Democracy: Sortition is the way to go.- Economy: abolish the money economy and replace it by cybernetic communism, using labourtime as our measurement for planning.
