An important point made by the Cato Institute's Stephen Thomas regarding the current talk of a nuclear renaissance... The enormous opportunity cost of wasting our time and resources on nuclear while there are faster, cheaper alternatives readily available. 👇 nuclearcosts.org/the-next-nuc...

Why are we talking about a nuclear renaissance again? A must read: the Cato Institute's truth 💣 about the prospects of a rosy nuclear future 👇 nuclearcosts.org/the-next-nuc...

Southern Company is an out-of-control monopolistic energy cartel in league with OPEC

Could Southern Nuclear be any more tone deaf? Disrespectful? Georgia Power customers are struggling with car payment sized electricity bills after a 25% rate increase May 2024 to pay for a piddly 1,120 MWs of nuclear power generation after years of being told it would cost 2-3%.

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

Republicans don’t like anyone knowing they’re screwing over the stable climate we rely on to live our lives so have ended data collection on carbon emissions to hide the truth of their fossil fuel addiction. I’d say it’s unbelievable but it’s just another day in the office for them.

Amory Lovins is right, it's absolutely absurd to believe nuclear power will meet the needs of AI data centers. ☀ + Microgrids are the way. nuclearcosts.org/nuclear-powe...

Each year, nuclear adds as much net global capacity as renewables add every two days. Soaring renewables generate three times more global electricity than stagnant nuclear ... China added 197 times more solar and wind than nuclear capacity, at half the cost.

Is your Georgia Power bill enormous? Are you concerned about climate change? Two of five Public Service Commission seats are up for election on November 4. That is the state agency that determines Georgia Power’s electricity rates and generation mix.

Former NRC chair on today’s US-UK nuclear deal: “The future of nuclear power is summed up by Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C & Vogtle 3+4—billions over budget and more than a decade late.”

The US-UK nuclear deal signed today by Trump and Starmer is a stinker—immoral leaders spending public money to enrich corporations. Former NRC chair Jaczko warns: “The world needs affordable energy today, not 20 years from now.” Disturbing. nuclearcosts.org/wp-content/u...

I don’t know what this means

My god

Americans who push back against Trump are winning: From the Federal Reserve to the streets of Chicago, Trump critics are showing how to fight. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

So true. Thank you sir

Please join me on Sunday at this event. I hope to see you there! Zoom link: necessarytroublega.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Welcome to the Georgia Power club of customers paying electric bills the size of car payments. Please vote out the incumbents in November 4th -they must be held accountable and their replacements WILL be able to lower bills 20-30% by reducing Ga Power’s INSANE profit margins just to industry norms.

New #nuclear - too costly, too late for energy and climate crises.

Love the good news coming out of China

Natrium isn’t an SMR, it isn’t cheap, and it isn’t needed. It’s a marketing gimmick against renewables. Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen explains.

@scottgottliebmd.bsky.social finishing up No more tears by Gardiner Harris. Shocked at the feckless FDA and corrupt Johnson & Johnson. I feel completely betrayed and unprotected.

Is Google's quest to power its data centers with Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) a bad idea? SACE's Stephen Smith discusses why unproven nuclear tech, like the proposed SMRs at TVA, is a risky financial bet. nuclearcosts.org/rush-to-buil...

20 years ago, the federal government promised a nuclear renaissance when President Bush signed the Energy & Policy Act of 2005. Only Georgia took the bait.

@volts.wtf In this podcast you said, "Rooftop solar spreading in Georgia like wildfire. People don't know that either." In fact, I don’t know that. I checked with a solar developer who agreed this is not true, except for the rush to get solar before the end of the tax breaks. Why did you say that?

"More than 8,000 people have asked Ofgem to block Tesla from supplying British households with electricity over owner Elon Musk’s “clear political agenda” (and no doubt because the thought of funding it makes people sick)

Proponents of nuclear believe it is far more reliable than renewables and don't acknowledge that a climate changed world means that nuclear can go down at any time ... www.reuters.com/business/ene...

In Georgia, data centers are (figuratively) on fire. Why? Because we roll out the red carpet for them.

2024 was the warmest year in recorded history, but don't let that stop anything, certainly not Georgia Power's quest for massive profits expanding gas and coal for data center business. www.nasa.gov/news-release....

Your friendly reminder that Texas Republicans wouldn’t have been able to pull off their latest redistricting stunt if John Roberts hadn’t eviscerated the Voting Rights Act in Shelby (2013).

lol. Georgia’s new reactors cost $36 billion for just 2110 MWs making it the most expensive power plant ever built on earth.

But wait- there are no ratepayers to fleece on the moon. What weirdos these people are.

Georgia Power has raised bills six times in two years, including the largest rate increase in state history: 23.7% to pay for Plant Vogtle, the most expensive power plant ever built on Earth.

The Georgia Public Service Commission is the worst in the nation, and I can prove it. I've been showing this photo for a while. It depicts Ga Power lawyers with BUSINESS BEFORE THE COMMISSION donating money to commissioners for favorable decisions. Which they get. 100% of the time.

I don’t care about your 3 positives. I will never buy a Tesla again. A billionaire immigrant cutting programs that aid the poor and the needy or that are critical government functions is just grotesque and there’s nothing Elon can ever do to recover from watching him do what he did.

Last Tuesday the Georgia the Public Service Commission passed Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, which is a catastrophe for Georgia Power customers. www.ajc.com/business/202...

I am pleased to report that Peter Hubbard won the PSC primary run-off, and thank you to everyone who voted! It is a good feeling to win something.

Summer events are increasingly at risk as heatwaves intensify thanks to climate change. Kids sports, professional races and games… and now this!

Gender has nothing to with this and nuclear is not good energy or progressive. The massive PR machine underway by the nuclear industry is massive and includes having women create nonprofits, stand around reactors while pregnant, or looking beautiful. Just look at @gracestanke.bsky.social

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 120 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Big Georgia Power bill? Worried about accelerating climate change? Vote tomorrow July 15 7 AM - 7 PM

A really good read - a very thorough, evidenced exploration of the hype surrounding SMRs Vs reality & thoughts on why these extravagant claims are being indulged.

Georgians: is your Georgia Power bill giant? Rates have increased an astonishing 39% in the past two years, far higher than any state in the nation. Yet Georgia Power earned $2.5 billion in profits in 2024 and $2.2 billion the year before, proving that rater increases were needed was a lie.

@claycane.bsky.social & @pattydurand.bsky.social WONDERFUL interview today! Thank you so much for highlighting the #PublicServiceCommission and how it impacts Georgians! Early voting happening NOW for the runoff #election. Polls open 7a-7p until Friday, July 11 and #ElectionDay is Tues July 15 🗳️🍑

You should be fired

Well at least broadcast news offers two sides, according to you. Unlike Fox News which is the real problem. It’s basically state media. Also- I don’t agree with your underlying premise. I watch broadcast news all the time. Every day in fact. I am not fed lies “that I then believe.”
