“This deeply troubling development confirms my worst fears about the dire state of nuclear power safety and security oversight under the Trump admin” -Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists @nucsafetyucs.bsky.social www.ocregister.com/2026/03/06/t...

California’s solar and batteries can now produce almost twice the constant output, day and night, as its nuclear plant, at the same reliability as the nuclear plant - but faster, cheaper, cleaner, and safer than the nuclear plant www.youtube.com/shorts/pGwQu...

Nuclear ☢️ Fallout at the Georgia Public Service Commission Georgia's @pattydurand.bsky.social explains why the high-cost of building nuclear power is scaring regulators nuclearcosts.org/nuclear-fall...

Is MAGA waking up to Solar? They still don't believe in science, and God knows they don't care about their children. Nope, they discovered that without solar, (and wind) electric rates will explode before the '28 election thinc.blog/2026/03/02/i...

Regulators will not be thanked for building nuclear power. They will be removed. Why states like NY, SC, and TX should think twice before spending other people's money on Trump's nuclear fantasy nuclearcosts.org/nuclear-fall...

The orders slashed hundreds of pages of requirements for training guards and securing nuclear material. They also loosened protections for things like groundwater. These are substantial changes that have the potential to undermine safety, security and environmental protections at the new reactors.

The abysmal @washingtonpost.com editorial page hit a new nadir today with its piece on "America's #nuclear future." It's not just that its policy pronouncements are wrong-headed. It is undermined by errors that betray an utter lack of interest in basic fact-checking.

Holtec's hubris and incompetence are on full display here. www.mlive.com/news/2026/02...

What an interesting thread. France went all in on nuclear power plants, which are now being displaced by cheaper wind and solar. Ramping nuke plants up/down and turning them on/off puts unexpected wear and tear on pumps, valves, pipes, etc., raising maintenance costs and shortening equipment lives.

Really interesting thread on French nuclear power.

NEW: The Trump Administration is exempting new experimental nuclear reactors from environmental reviews. The exclusion comes just days after NPR revealed the administration had secretly rewritten environmental and safety standards at the Department of Energy. www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...

In 2025, installed nuclear capacity of 4.4 GW was 180 times lower than new solar and wind capacity, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicting 4,600 GW new renewable capacity by 2030 (current global nuclear capacity is 369 GW), meeting 90% of global electricity demand growth.

"The law would have required them to disclose how their construction and operation might harm the environment, and it also typically required a written, public assessment of the possible consequences of a nuclear accident."

GA's "new" Plant Vogtle reactors resulted in a 25% increase in electric bills 👀 Then why is @governor.ny.gov hellbent on building new reactors in NY that will drive up 🔌 bills? nuclearcosts.org/hochul-and-t...

"There's no possible way of saying that new nuclear is consistent with an affordability agenda. That is magical thinking. She's getting bad advice.” gothamist.com/news/climate...

“The cost analysis underlying (Hochul’s) Energy Plan is so flawed that neither the state nor the contractor who wrote it stands behind its accuracy or the consequences of using it.” -Dr. Joseph Romm on @governor.ny.gov's plan to build 3GW of nuclear power www.youtube.com/live/G3w73QA...

Nuclear power is not the answer. A new report from the Hawaiʻi State Energy Office finds that nuclear energy is legally barred, technologically unviable, and fundamentally incompatible with Hawaiʻi’s climate goals, public safety needs, and history in the Pacific. The conclusion is decisive.
