A candle in the wind of hot air. Utah Office of Energy Development ran a laugh-out-loud ad claiming "Nuclear Energy Is Cleaner Than A Candle." Patty Durand points out the obvious fallacies -- and worse -- of such insulting trivialization. @nuclearcosts.bsky.social nuclearcosts.org/utahs-nuclea...

A candle in the wind ☢️💨 Utah wants to follow in the footsteps of Georgia's Plant Vogtle. @pattydurand.bsky.social explains why that's an awful idea 👇 nuclearcosts.org/utahs-nuclea...

"Nuclear power plants are becoming targets of war." www.salon.com/2026/05/21/a...

Nuclear power is nothing but a fossil fuel delay tactic. We have the affordable solution to our future energy needs: solar, wind, hydro and storage But that doesn’t work for their business model. No surprise the company on the other side of this “deal” is Dow Chemical.

Plant Vogtle’s nuclear expansion in Georgia went way over budget and took years longer than expected. What can other states learn from that amid a new nuclear-power boom?

@BeyondNuclear and @nirsnet +11 more groups filed comments to @NRCgov challenging whether Trump's “Rubber-Stamp Rule” to “Make America Nuclear Again”, violates key components of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) and Energy Reorganization Act. beyondnuclear.org/are-trumps-n...

No, we won't get fooled again, thank you. Don't buy the aspirational nonsense about a new #nuclear renaissance. The last one was a dud.

What an accurate post & unfortunate reality for GA rate payer. New nuclear power is expensive & risky #nts

Nuclear? Not even part of the conversation. Why? Because you would laugh at the cost comparison to renewables + storage. 😎💨+🔋=☢️⚰️

“What Georgia has built is not a triumph of American ingenuity but rather a fraud that should speak the final word on nuclear power in the US.” energytransition.org/2026/04/the-...

"Told you so" certainly comes to mind. Regulators & electeds failed to listen to the facts - the Vogtle reactors were the wrong decision decades ago & utility customers were stuck footing the bill, while GA Power profited handsomely, again...

The political fallout from Plant Vogtle 3+4 is still reverberating. Two Republican incumbents already lost their seats; one just announced early retirement, and voters are still fuming. The latest on Georgia's big nuclear mistake from @pattydurand.bsky.social 👇 nuclearcosts.org/a-nuclear-un...

It's 40 years since the #Chernobyl reactor blew up in Ukraine, so how come are we still hearing the lie that almost nobody died as a result of the world's biggest nuclear disaster? In Linda Pentz Gunter's new book, she explains why. @PlutoPress @BeyondNuclear www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls2b...

EIA forecasts US solar, wind and battery storage to grow by over 80 GW in year ahead "Meanwhile, EIA projects no new generating capacity by nuclear power and a net decline of 4,903.2 MW in fossil fuel capacity." renewablesnow.com/news/eia-for...

Sadly, all too believable. Once again, irrational exuberance. How many investors really understand how absurd this technology is? But I guess you can make money playing the stock like a casino game. Until the inevitable reckoning with facts.

The severe risks from nuclear power demonstrated by Chornobyl are being deliberately used by Russia as a weapon of war www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

So just to keep score.... We're giving Bill Gates a massive subsidy and taxpayer funds to recreate the Chernobyl ☢️ disaster in Wyoming.

Look out, Carolina! “The two Georgia reactors Duke plans to copy are the most expensive power plants ever built, and they caused rates to soar 24%”

Beware taxpayers, ratepayers, & Utahns: What will the hope of a nuclear Utah result in? Billions wasted in failed projects (VC Summer 2&3, Yucca Mountain), over budgeted projects (Vogtle 3&4), corruption (Ohio's HB-6), contamination (abandoned uranium mines, PORTS/Zahn's Corner Middle School)...?

Important thread 👇

April 30 marks two years since Georgia Power completed Plant Vogtle Units 3 & 4. Since then, we’ve seen growing interest in nuclear power as a carbon-free solution to meet demand from data centers.

Utah's Governor is rolling out the red carpet for new nuclear. But do Utahns know about this? nuclearcosts.org/peter-thiel-...

Peter Thiel, Nuclear Power, and Weapons-Grade Uranium Enrichment: A Billionaire’s Power Play 👀 nuclearcosts.org/peter-thiel-...

Sources say activist & Goldman Prize winner Diane Wilson has been arrested for attempting to deliver demands to a Dow Chemicals facility in Seadrift, TX She's been on a 25 day hunger strike outside the facility, protesting its move to remove rules on how much plastic it can discharge into waterways

Diane is protesting the construction of unshielded experimental reactors at the Dow site in Seadrift 👇 She deserves our support - Go, Diane!

Wild story: DOGE meets nuclear reactor safety

Dow is building an unshielded ☢️ reactor on the Texas Gulf. They're also polluting the area with billions of plastic nurdles. Diane Wilson, a 78-year-old fisherwoman, is entering her THIRD week of hunger strike protest trying to 🛑 it. Go, Diane! #NoNukesNoNurdles tylerpaper.com/2026/03/12/e...

And all it will do is to turn the public off even more from #nuclear power and drive workers--who are much smarter about protecting their own health than the dingbats in charge are--from the industry in droves.

Let's be clear: this reckless and irresponsible move is completely driven by ideology and a handful of #nuclear nutcases who have been waging conspiracy theories for decades, and has nothing to do with the underlying science. www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2519/...

It’s pretty clear no one wants to pay for Westinghouse’s AP1000. Vogtle 3 + 4 were $36B and a decade late. This is a big deal 👇
