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...

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.

Learn that you shouldn’t build new nuclear plants if you claim to care about affordability & actually addressing climate change

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

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

"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...

Speaking truth to power! #nts #ntruth

We have the solutions already! Safe, clean, & affordable - renewables + battery storage #nts

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.

Thanks to @nucsafetyucs.bsky.social for this excellent blog highlighting important safety concerns w/new nuclear power proposals. No #CowboyChernobyls needed to benefit billionaires #ntruth #nts

I agree nuclear power is the wrong path. See my recent op ed on this in the context of New York State. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Excellent short video from @apnews.com featuring @thebulletin.org & globalrenewablesalliance.org #nts #ntruth

The DOE's Billionaire Welfare Program? Bezos and Gates are utilizing NEI, the nuclear industry's primary lobbying arm, to secure billions in corporate welfare for their risky nuclear ☢️ designs

“After 2 years, ratepayer pain and political fallout from Georgia’s nuclear plant Vogtle” 🌞 Patty Durand, founder of Georgians for Affordable Energy “Elected officials must understand that voters will not reward you for pursuing nuclear power: They will remove you.” #ntruth 1/

"Texas built 36 GW of solar and storage in 4 years, for about $36 billion. Georgia built 2 GW of nuclear in 15 years at the same cost." ☝️ www.utilitydive.com/news/after-2...

NC should tread carefully w/new nuclear pursuits - GA ratepayers suffered dearly with Plant Vogtle's mega-expensive new reactors #NTS

Beyond concerning-arrogance & ignorance at unbelievable levels

The war in Iran highlights the ☢️ security risk posed by drone attacks on 🇺🇲 nuclear power facilities. Are we prepared? nuclearcosts.org/nuclear-cost...

Congrats to Norway acknowledging that new nuclear is too risky & expensive to address climate change & provide clean, reliable electricity!

Emissions (water vapor is a greenhouse gas), thermal pollution, waste storage, mining & enrichment for refueling + transportation, emergency diesel generators... and just wait until the decommissioning! Support 100% clean, renewable energy systems!

The Vogtle countdown: 30 days of posts. On April 30, 2024, Georgia Power finally completed the first new nuclear units in the U.S. in decades. But for Georgia Power customers, the project completion did not come with a celebration. It came with a massive rate hike.

"If Eisenhower’s speech had been 'Renewables for Peace,' it would have been much more accurate, and if all the global resources that went into nuclear had gone into renewables instead,... we could have been ahead of where we are today by 1990 at the latest." cleantechnica.com/2020/12/28/g...

Building new nuclear power plants is unaffordable. Plant Vogtle's new reactors were a boondoggle for ratepayers & a cash cow for the utility, GA Power. Thanks @pattydurand.bsky.social for spotlighting this scam!

78-yr-old Texas shrimper Diane Wilson's 3rd week of hunger strike outside Dow She's opposing Dow/X-energy plans for 4 experimental nuclear reactors on the TX Coast. These reactors lack a containment structure and would generate indefinite, high-level ☢️ waste. nuclearcosts.org/78-year-old-...

Bad advice indeed. Want affordable electricity? It won't be from new nuclear reactors

This pertains not only to NY, but any states looking at new nuclear power

Exactly. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
