Hey, some good news out of Denmark: energywatch.com/EnergyNews/P...

Such a fun conversation w/ @jamespethokoukis.bsky.social, we talked about whether this nuclear revival is gonna stick fasterplease.substack.com/p/a-final-an...

I'm speaking at Economist Impact Events' Nuclear Summit in London on April 15th. Explore how nuclear technologies are shaping geopolitics, commerce, and innovation invt.io/1txb27e1wae

After 15 years, Japan restarts the world's largest nuclear power plant: 8.2 GW www.bbc.com/news/article...

It is just a wild time to be an American living in Scandinavia 😬https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestunson/2026/01/20/greenland-prime-minister-says-military-invasion-cant-be-ruled-out-live-updates/

I've got a new report coming out @theniaorg.bsky.social Right-Sizing Reactors: Balancing trade-offs between economies of scale and volume Register for the report release webinar (1/30); we will have a great panel to discuss: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

That's not "cool", that's a tragedy. U.S. has maternal mortality twice the rate of the average high-income country. Of course you have a bunch of dudes shrugging it off, then asking why women don't have more babies.

Look, I think ALARA should have been reformed, but the timing of this announcement is pretty unfortunate, to say the least. Will not engender public trust in nuclear going forward...

A little timeline cleanse: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Register today for NIA's webinar on my latest publication, "Right-Sizing Reactors: Balancing Trade-offs Between Economies of Scale and Volume." We will have great speakers from Kairos, Radiant, and Alva Energy. Click here to register: tinyurl.com/bdh6hf3w

Join me in Stockholm late-February for the European Nuclear Energy 2026 (ENE26) Summit stratcomsevents.com/ENE26/

In general, I don't feel like nuclear energy is being over-hyped right now, there's just a lot of investment interest and government support so dozens of companies competing for those resources. BUT everyone knew Fermi - founded by Rick Perry - was a huge grift: www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Applications are now open for 2026's Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp, which will be held July 26 - August 8 at McMaster University in Canada. A great opportunity for students and young professionals interested in commercializing new nuclear www.nuclearinnovationbootcamp.org/nib2026

This is going to be a fun congressional hearing: Subcommittee on Energy hearing titled American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era Wednesday, January 7, 2026 - 10:15 AM ET energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairm...

I wrote a little something about the history and future of nuclear power in Sweden, and why it's so interesting: open.substack.com/pub/jloverin...

😂

Interesting Op-Ed from my colleague, Erik Lundin, arguing for the importance of electricity price zones in Sweden for incentivising new generation where it's needed, BUT... www.sydsvenskan.se/opinion/inde...

Viktiga argument för fortsatt indelning i elområdena i Sverige www.sydsvenskan.se/opinion/inde...

NRC's loss is NYPA's gain! Great to see former Commissioner Christopher Hanson will be helping New York with financing and permitting new nuclear energy in the state www.publicpower.org/periodical/a...

Kommer du att vara i Stockholm den 16 april? Kom och se det här policyseminarium: Bör Europa ha en gemensam strategi för kärnkraftsutbyggnad? www.ifn.se/seminarier-o...

Exciting! Swedish government got more interest in their nuclear financing than they had targeted for 2035 www.nucnet.org/news/sweden-...

Absolutely terrifying: these people are here legally, married to U.S. citizens. This could have been my family just a few years ago. ICE agents said they disagreed with the arrests, but that "they had to follow orders." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

There's been a flurry of announcements in Europe recently, but new nuclear projects will likely face similar challenges as in the U.S. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Obviously the U.S. is absent at COP30, but another notable government not sending any ministers to the negotiations is Sweden. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/no-s...

On Tuesday, Trump said: "'TRUMP WASN'T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT, according to Pollsters" He seems to admit that voters are blaming the GOP for the government shutdown, and yet...

Well...when you put it like that...

🌊🌊🌊

Blue Wave, baby! 🌊 Great to see Georgians finally get fair representation at the PSC too

Apropos of tomorrow's election in NYC, I wonder if @thirdway.bsky.social stands by the Mamdani hit piece they published in June. Do they still think Cuomo is the safer bet? www.thirdway.org/memo/the-rad...

My local grocery store (in Sweden) has an American section in the foreign foods aisle. It is 90% junk food. (It's the only place I have found canned pumpkin though)

Last week I was in Prague for a conference on advanced nuclear and SMRs, check out my reflections for @theniaorg.bsky.social on what's happening in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia here: nuclearinnovationalliance.org/impressions-...

My building on campus has a rooftop solar array and a monitor showing real-time stats on its electricity generation. Sometimes it is...less than impressive 😂 Yes, the 460 m2 solar array will produce enough electricity over 8 hours today to charge *one* mobile phone or power 15 LED lamps.

A lot has been written on the energy (and climate!) implications of air-conditioning, but I thought this piece in the Silver Bulletin has some great insights on how differently we treat heating and cooling from a policy perspective www.natesilver.net/p/i-loved-my...

As a recently expatriated American, I woke up today to amazing photos of huge crowds across the U.S. (and world!) protesting, and it made me feel hope for the first time in a long time.

We’re on a spot price electricity plan in Sweden, which is great because I finally got my husband to geek out over energy prices. Now he says stuff like, ”It’s going to be really windy tomorrow, we should do laundry.”

🚨New nuclear tech alert! So proud of the DISA and Pillsbury teams for getting this license. This game changing process will revolutionize the ability to treat over 15,000 abandoned uranium mining sites in the west including many on the lands of the Navajo Nation. www.pillsburylaw.com/en/news-and-...

Just totally normal times we're living in... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Sounds like we have a deal!

So, I think everyone in my social feeds was rightfully mocking the tylenol-autism link, without really grasping that it's the exact same kind of poorly-designed studies behind a lot of the links they do still believe. It may not have the same harms, because tylenol is a harm reduction tool, but...

Ugh, this is the worst. When we moved to Europe I thought we would take trains everywhere (and we do try to!), but for work trips it is often 2-3x the cost and takes 5-6x longer. The extra time is not so bad on vacation, but for a family of four that cost is tough to bear

You free tomorrow? Come see me (virtually) at NYC Climate Week: www.climateweeknyc.org/events/role-...

Wow! That trend is shocking, especially Finland. Is it also an issue with people using more wood for heating to offset high energy prices, or is this mostly an industrial harvesting issue?

Unsurprising results, but very robust research methodology: Emissions rose when U.S. nuclear power closed. By Luke Petach in Southern Economic Journal. [Open Access] onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This is a significant finding that counters the common belief that wind farms will decrease property values. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Really interesting work! Counter-mapping reveals potential conflicts between offshore wind energy and traditional fishing communities in Brazil sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I had a friend in grad school get whooping cough (she was vaccinated), and she said the *first 100 days* were the hardest.

Check out my interview with @swetac.bsky.social for @wedonthavetime.bsky.social to answer all your questions about nuclear's role in fighting climate change. youtu.be/UbT8Af1GG0Y?...

I’ve run my own experiments and found similar results, but nice to see real data on this
