5) I read 'Rad Future' by nuclear influencer-activist @isabelleboemeke (@isodope) A fun read that presents a comprehensive and cogent case for fission-based nuclear electricity generation and all its myriad benefits for the world Goes into just the right level of detail on the science, history, and data to support her case While I am naturally already receptive to the message (indeed she gives a nice little shoutout to us crypto-bros), I like that she largely addresses the book to the skeptics and does so in a level-headed way without becoming dogmatic or leaning on theoretical future breakthroughs like fusion reactors Great book for anyone that wants to know the quick and dirty of how to support the nuclear space more broadly. Indeed, it was great reading about the recent progress and vibe shift at the end of the book Recommend

Interesting new paper documents clearly how the IAEA has been overestimating the growth of nuclear time and time again. It's the inverse of what I've documented for solar and batteries. doi.org/10.1016/j.erss…

I am proud to announce my first bill with the ambition to legalise nuclear energy in Ireland. 101 years ago, Ireland broke ground on the Shannon Hydroelectric Scheme. In our past we had an ambition to do what was necessary. Now we must do so again. businesspost.ie/politics/new-l…

@zanehkoch My dad is 100 and was a nuclear engineer for 60 years. I showed him the thread and he said, "This was discovered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory a long time ago [1950s], and it was deliberately repressed because it didn't fit with the narratives about radiation."
