@mkhammer This tweet got a shout out on the @thedispatch podcast this morning. Well deserved.

I’m wary of course but it sure seems like a STRONG ISRAEL WITH STRONG BACKING FROM AN UNPREDICTABLE KINDA PSYCHO U.S. PRESIDENT with B2 bombers is a better basis for changing the Middle East game than the UN bitching at Jews.

Tonight’s Dumpster Fire isn’t a normal one. I had no idea how to cover this. It’s just me trying to grapple with tragedy and the reactions to it.

@Atomicrod Wasn't a side effect of Megatons to Megawatts a dip in U prices that essentially killed our domestic fuel supply chain? Nothing against reducing nuclear weapons, but a) do I have that right? and b) if so, how would it be different this time? Thx
English
If the US gets serious and successfully negotiates nuclear weapons reduction treaties, it would free up enormous resources for nuclear ENERGY development.
Money, materials and manpower currently being expended in weapons programs would more usefully serve human flourishing by being redirected to commercial heat and power.

@TheFrackingGuy Hoping for below normal temps for the @HoustonMarathon on 1/19. No one likes running in normal H-Town weather.

@atrembath Voters certainly won't care as long as the proposed "solution" is to reject modernity.
English
I'm starting to think that the climate left is not going to absorb the fact that voters don't care about climate change.
English
@Atomicrod The fact that such news could seem credible to you as current news says a lot about how promising today’s market actually is.

I was taken aback by a story that appearing today's Google alert on "new nuclear power."
The headline said that steps were being taken to apply for a COL for 2 Westinghouse AP1000s for TVA's Bellefonte site. That made me almost cheer out loud.
The story described how a partnership called NuStart would be involved and how TVA expected the price tag to be between $2.5 and $3.5 billion.
It also noted how completing Watts Bar 2 was a priority task.
My initial joy was crushed when realized that this piece from the Jackson County Sentinel was dated Sep 13, 2007.

@Beazy_Rampezy Agree. What kind of carrots should we have?
Some type of bonus for early operation?
English
I cannot believe people think cost overrun insurance is a good idea.
It is the shortening of the stick rather than balancing carrots and sticks to deploy projects on time and on cost.
And tying everything to cost estimating, which we’re awful at, is crazy.

Nuclear boosters are finally getting legislation on Capitol Hill that would create a $3.6 billion federal backstop for overbudget nuclear projects. It could be essential for the nuclear industry to be economically viable going forward: eenews.net/articles/risch…

@TheFrackingGuy They just need to build more (and add batteries)!
Remind me again what infinity times zero is again?

Why don’t they turn the wind turbines up?

The Pacific NW is now in its 9th day of virtually zero electricity from wind and solar (the green "VER" line in the graph). #waleg

Folks who absolutely have to have clean, reliable, 24/7 power know the only place that they can get it.
It's time for our "leaders" to realize that forcing unreliable crappy power down the throats of us plebes leaves us relying on a 2nd class grid.

BREAKING: AMAZON MAKES HISTORIC INVESTMENT TO DEPLOY NUCLEAR PLANTS Amazon has made a direct investment, the first of its kind, into building nuclear reactors to power AI. Amazon is investing in X-Energy and joining Washington-based nuclear operator Energy Northwest to deploy nuclear energy in a planned 5 GW fleet by 2040. After Amazon and its pears claimed for years to be using "100% Renewable power", it has become an open secret that this has only worked because of heavy use of steady nuclear, natural gas, and coal power bought as "gray energy" and taken from the local power grid. An announcement ceremony is happening in Washington DC now. More analysis to come.

@AndrewCFollett @NRO It won't happen cuz it can't happen. Plenty of damage will be done trying, but at nut cutting time, per @DoombergT, on the path from abundance to starvation is riot. And Dems have already shown they'll burn hundreds of millions of bbl of oil to avoid the modest pain of $5 gas.
English
Even Biden-Harris' own bureaucracy admits their policies will cause "catastrophic" blackouts.
Dems want to destroy ~60% of US electrical generation in name of global warming.

VP Kamala Harris has reportedly declined to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while he is in DC to address Congress
She has a track record of stupid in the Middle East. I don't care who she is married to. The guy couldn't explain Chanukah
Harris is bad for America, Jews & Israel

For heaven's sake, can we build some freaking nukes?

Shutdown requirements are based on the predicted wind speeds at the plant location.
The premium Weather Channel app predicts a maximum wind speed of 61 MPH as Beryl passes through Bay City, TX.
The STP units might be shutdown in an abundance of caution.
Tomorrow’s Power Reactor Status report should be revealing.

A hurricane warning is in effect for Bay City, #Texas, home of the South Texas Project #nuclear plant. The two reactors will probably have to be shut down. #Beryl2024

@CynthiaL1018341 @FrakerMonica Thank God the idiots who fought against it didn't win. One of the most reliable power plants in Texas that we desperately need more of.

@FrakerMonica This is the South Texas Nuclear Project that was fought against for years. It was pushed through by Republicans in Texas and Washington DC .

As France's grid is 70% nuclear and 15% hydro, the "no AC for athletes" virtue signal is completely pointless, even by eco alarmist standards @mkhammer @VictorinoMatus nbcnews.com/news/sports/us…

It’s hard to keep up with the smears. Let’s see…
Thomas should not go on vacations with friends & needs to control his wife.
Alito is a closet insurrectionist.
ACB goes to church, & her husband is a lawyer with good clients.
Kav is a gang rapist.
The desperation is real.

Hello from Perth, Australia's Houston and the most remote major city on Earth.
Houston may turn into a nuclear town (hell I was even there last week!). So too might Perth.
They banned uranium mining but seem to mine every other damn thing on earth judging from the skyscrapers.
