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

Important life update: I'm starting a research position at Uppsala University in September, moving the whole fam to Sweden in 2 weeks! We'll be living on Gotland, so come visit in the summer :) I'll be modeling the future of nuclear in Sweden

I am unable to reply to say that I am not a lobbyist, and they should be able to easily see that from my bio. I am an academic and work for a non-profit 😂 Most people I know who work to promote nuclear were driven by their concern for climate change

It Just Got Easier to Build Nuclear Power Plants in Wisconsin insideclimatenews.org/news/1007202...

H.R.1 was a terrible bill that will hurt low and middle income families across the U.S. for the benefit of the wealthy...but there were some good things in there for nuclear energy, right? Right?!? Well, maybe not even that... www.projectfinance.law/publications...

Not that anyone needs my 2 cents on Iran, but I did hear a cute science diplomacy story when I was a PhD: Something that greased the wheels during the original negotiations of the JCPOA was that Ernie Moniz and his Iranian counterpart had overlapped at MIT...

At #ANS2025, @katyhuff.bsky.social makes a great point that the President’s Executive Orders call for 4x growth in nuclear, but the budget cuts all nuclear programs by 20-30%. Big mismatch there!

Cool to see a hydro powerhouse like Norway interested in building nuclear. They always get held up as a prime example of 100% renewables www.neimagazine.com/news/halden-...

Although President Trump signed an Executive Order two weeks ago to reform the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it still came as a shock that he would then go and (illegally) fire one of the Commissioners (and former Chair)

Finally, Todd Allen and I got to write about zombies...and the importance of continued federal funding for nuclear R&D. Blog up @theniaorg.bsky.social nuclearinnovationalliance.org/innovating-n...

Excuse me?!? Vogtle 3 and 4 would like a word (and Watts Bar 2) observer.co.uk/news/science...

Does anyone have a table of DOE NE enacted budgets from the last 10-15 years? I have individual years in pdfs and I'm pulling them into one doc and I am going mad

Yikes. Sorry, @thirdway.bsky.social, this is an absolute dumpster fire of an opinion. Thesis: GOP set out the bait and Dems should take it.

Dems should keep it simple and just share misinformation that's not supported by science...because vibes I guess 🤷‍♀️

Really helpful rundown of all the who-what-when in Trump's four nuclear Executive Orders from last Friday @theniaorg.bsky.social nuclearinnovationalliance.org/fact-sheet-p...

Tune in to PBS NewsHour tonight at 6 p.m. for a special look at the restart of the nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island, featuring @theniaorg.bsky.social CEO and President @judigreenwald.bsky.social www.pbs.org/newshour
