In 2025 #Germany generated 94 TWh of electricity from coal at ~1000 gCO2eq/kWh, but it could have been zero if not one “climate crime” decision (climate scientists’ words not mine), because only in 2010 Germany produced 133 TWh per year from #nuclear power at 5.6 gCO2eq/kWh. Also, much much cheaper. As part of Energiewende Germany decided to replace that 133 TWh from nuclear by a source that has exactly 178x higher CO2 intensity… and called that “climate protection” 🤷

The Trump Administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review

The Trump Administration has created an exclusion for new experimental reactors being built at sites around the U.S. from a major environmental law.

The exclusion announcement comes just days after NPR revealed officials at the Department of Energy had secretly rewritten environmental, safety and security rules to make it easier for the reactors to be built.

trump is a fool and a very dangerous one.

China (fastest) can build a 1GW nuclear plant in 50 mnths & Rosatom (cheapest) can build one for $5B.

Masdar are building a 1GW 24/7 solar plus storage plant in UAE for $6B. The project broke ground in Oct '25 & is scheduled to be completed in '27 (25 mnths). This is the costliest & slowest this type of project will ever be.

In high irradiance countries firm solar is already cheap & fastest to power.

In the sunbelt, solar is simply the best option.

Aerospace consultant Roger Myers explains the geopolitical rationale behind the drive by #NASA and the Department of #Energy to put a #nuclear reactor on the #moon by the 2030s.

"In 2025, four #nuclear reactors with a capacity of 4.4 GW were connected to the grid in 2025, while seven reactors with a capacity of 2.8 GW were decommissioned. This means that global nuclear power capacity increased by only 1.6 GW last year.

At the same time over _650 GW_ of new #SolarEnergy capacity was installed. That is more than 400 times as much."

I've had an account here for awhile but haven't posted on this instance yet, so here's my #Introduction

1. I am an engineering student working towards a degree related to nuclear energy. I am hoping to become a nuclear power plant operator after I graduate.

2. I am planning to start a blog soon that will mainly focus on transgender men's issues and my own gender transition.

3. I am looking for ways to get involved in politics and helping other members of the lgbt community around the Denver area.

4. I collect fountain pens and do calligraphy in my free time

🇺🇸 - 🇬🇱 The US military really doesn't have the best track record in #Greenland.

🛬 - 💥 It's shocking how irresponsible the #USA has been with it's nuclear weapons!
