⚛️ #Palisades just made U.S. #nuclear history: the first plant to move from decommissioning back to operations 🔄. With NRC approval, it’s set to restart in 2025 ⚡ and could run to 2051, proving even “retired” reactors can return as clean power anchors 🌍.
That cycle ends when you run the AC on nuclear power instead of gas. Clean cooling, zero guilt.
The fact you’re editing a report on fossil fuels says it all, time to pivot the story. Nuclear is the clean way forward.
Exactly, the future is being built where clean, firm energy is prioritized. Nuclear gives long-term stability that attracts real investment, not just political slogans.
China is building dozens of nuclear plants right now while the U.S. drags its feet. That’s the real energy race, and we can’t afford to lose it.
True, fossil fuels are addictive like cigarettes. The real replacement is nuclear, zero emissions, steady, and safe.
Floods and storms are exactly why we need nuclear. It’s the only power source that keeps running in all weather without choking the air with carbon.
Food systems matter, but they also rely on electricity. And the cleanest way to power farming and supply chains long term is nuclear.
True, but the fastest way to cut fossil profits is by scaling nuclear, not just taxing oil. Clean baseload makes their whole model obsolete.
The real “fascism” is keeping people dependent on fossil fuels while blocking nuclear progress. Energy freedom means nuclear.
That’s the catch, renewables can undercut each other, but they can’t replace fossil fuels on their own. Nuclear is the backbone that keeps the grid stable.
If the goal is to stop wrecking the environment, then nuclear is the answer. No smoke, no endless land use, just steady clean power.
Exactly why nuclear matters, it’s immune to lobbying games. Once online, it runs for 60+ years with stable, clean output.
And that’s why nuclear matters, it’s the only technology that can’t just be canceled by politics. Once built, it runs for generations.
Right, dig deep and you’ll find that attacks on nuclear always come from fossil fuel interests trying to keep their monopoly.
China proves the point, nuclear expansion is what actually delivers energy security. That’s the play everyone else is missing.
Exactly, auto companies are stuck because they’re chained to fossil fuel economics. Nuclear breaks that cycle with stable, clean baseload.
That’s the difference, biofuels keep the carbon cycle alive, nuclear doesn’t. Zero emissions and zero reliance on land use.
Touting more oil and gas as “Net Zero” is a joke. Real independence comes from nuclear, which cuts emissions without endless drilling.
True, but unlike fossil fuels, nuclear doesn’t keep dumping carbon into the sky. Its footprint is tiny, while the output is massive.
The promise isn’t in burning more fuels, it’s in building nuclear and stabilizing costs. Betting on oil keeps the crisis permanent.
And that’s why nuclear gets attacked, because it cuts into the profits of fossil fuel industries
Exactly, countries investing in nuclear are the ones truly breaking free from oil cartels. Energy independence comes from uranium, not pipelines.
That’s the beauty of nuclear: it slashes dependence on cars and fossil fuels by giving grids clean, reliable power without constant CO₂ emissions.
Those numbers show it clearly, still dominated by fossil fuels. Nuclear is the only realistic way to flip that balance without raising prices.
Yes, generation, not conservation, is the issue. Nuclear gives the clean baseload that makes renewables reliable instead of fragile.
Fossil fuel panic only proves the point: nuclear is the one replacement that lasts for decades and keeps grids stable.
Exactly, the U.S. fell behind by leaning on fossil fuels. China surged ahead by building nuclear at record pace, proof of what works.
And that’s why nuclear matters, long-lived, secure
Telling people not to worry solves nothing. Nuclear is the only way to actually cut emissions at scale instead of just hoping things turn out fine.
We’re locked into expensive fossil fuel imports because we never built out nuclear properly. That’s why energy bills bite so hard.
Exactly. Stop subsidizing fossil fuels and redirect that money into nuclear. It delivers decades of clean energy without constant taxpayer bailouts.
That’s the irony, people romanticize “oil culture” while ignoring how nuclear could give Alberta real, lasting energy independence.
Fossil-free doesn’t mean just wind and solar. Nuclear is the only scalable clean power that can actually replace fossil fuels.
Nuclear batteries and advanced designs prove the tech is only expanding. Calling nuclear “old” is like saying semiconductors were outdated in the 70s.
Nuclear jobs are long-term, skilled, and high-paying. They build real industries, not just subsidies that vanish with the wind.
Germany’s phaseout was self-sabotage. They traded away stability and affordable clean energy for ideology.
Tripling nuclear capacity isn’t a dream, it’s a necessity. If governments drag their feet, they’ll just pay more later while the climate clock keeps ticking.
Batteries don’t fix the problem without nuclear behind them. That’s the piece everyone forgets when they talk about “cheap energy.”
Smart move. Japan knows reliable baseload matters, and nuclear investment is the foundation for real energy security.
Exactly, wind and solar were the low-hanging fruit. Nuclear is the backbone that can deliver real scale without eating land.
EU hesitation doesn’t change the fact that France already runs on nuclear and others will follow. Reality beats rhetoric when energy security is on the line.
Nuclear’s upfront costs are high, but long-term it provides the cheapest clean energy. Germany may resist now, but pressure will only grow.
That’s the point: even with hesitation, nuclear is on the table at the highest policy level. Once leaders face reality, it becomes non-negotiable.
Exactly , this shows nuclear isn’t just legacy plants. Google and TVA buying power from Gen IV proves the future is already here.
Financing is always a debate, but nuclear is moving forward regardless. Advanced designs and alliances make sure it can’t be ignored.
Good to see nuclear advocates in culture and fashion too. The message spreads further when nuclear is part of mainstream conversations.
Illinois proves it: nuclear isn’t theoretical, it’s already covering nearly all demand. That’s real clean baseload, not promises.
True, every energy source has some footprint , but nuclear’s is the lowest per unit of power. That’s why it must stay central.
Nuclear has been demonized for decades, yet it’s safer than coal, oil, or gas. Modern plants even have fully fail-safe systems built in.
Correct. Per TWh, nuclear is among the very safest energy sources on earth. The fear doesn’t match the data.
Data centers need 24/7 power. Wind and solar can’t give that certainty , nuclear can. Regulations should enable, not block, reliability.
Exactly. No battery, no satellite, no heavy industry runs without dense energy. Nuclear carries the load cleanly where nothing else can.
France proved decades ago that nuclear gives cheap, low-carbon power at scale. Every serious path to net zero includes it.
Japan’s ruling shows the truth: resilient, safe reactors keep powering communities. Courts recognize what anti-nuclear activists ignore.
No need for nuclear? Every submarine, aircraft carrier, and soon data center says otherwise. Baseload isn’t optional.
A future-ready grid without nuclear is fantasy. You can’t power a modern economy on weather alone , nuclear keeps the system stable.
If the US took serious equity stakes in nuclear, it would show real commitment to energy independence. Long-term stakes, long-term security.
Fusion hype is nice, but fission is already proven and running 24/7 today. We don’t need to wait for miracles when nuclear already delivers clean baseload.
What’s insane is shutting down clean nuclear while demand for power explodes. Building more reactors isn’t crazy, it’s common sense.
Russia knows what others pretend not to: nuclear is a strategic asset. Countries ignoring it are handing away their energy security.
Roof solar and wind can help, but they’ll never replace the constant backbone nuclear provides. Without it, grids stay fragile and dirty fuels stay in the mix.
Exactly , building coal plants is madness when nuclear can deliver the same baseload without poisoning the air.
True , the math is clear. Without a new build-out of nuclear, there’s no way to meet growing demand and stay carbon-free.
Yes , nuclear is back at the center of strategy because nothing else can meet energy demands without massive trade-offs.
And that’s the point , grids depend on nuclear because it provides the steady, reliable backbone. Take nuclear out, and the whole system collapses.
Wrong read , China is adding nuclear aggressively, because they know you can’t run a modern economy on solar alone.
Exactly , China isn’t phasing out nuclear, they’re scaling it up alongside everything else. That’s how you secure energy for the future.
Calling nuclear “dead” ignores reality. It’s expanding worldwide, while grids with only wind and solar are already struggling.
Spot on. Reliability and affordability matter , and nuclear is the backbone that makes every other source viable.
And that’s why cutting nuclear out of the mix is shortsighted. Energy security means nuclear plus renewables, not either/or.
Right , with modern designs, nuclear is safer, cleaner, and more advanced than ever. That’s why it keeps proving its value.
Exactly , energy dominance comes from strength, and nuclear delivers it 24/7.
Kentucky spotlighting nuclear is huge. Local communities know it means jobs, stable grids, and long-term economic growth.
Cheap until you factor in reliability. Nuclear gives 24/7 baseload power without subsidies propping it up like wind and solar.
If anything, nuclear is the antidote to lobbyist-driven fossil agendas. Clean baseload isn’t bought by oil interests.
Right , modern reactors are ultra-safe, reliable, and green. Alberta will realize nuclear is the backbone of real clean energy.
Exactly , we wasted years chasing false solutions while nuclear was ready to deliver. Small modular reactors could’ve already been powering remote regions cleanly.
Perfect example , Illinois proved nuclear can carry the grid. 108% output shows the flexibility and strength of reactors.
Exactly , DOE’s job isn’t to chase gas, it’s to scale nuclear. That’s where real energy security lies.
Vattenfall choosing nuclear shows Europe’s serious about reliability. Adding 1,500 MW of clean baseload isn’t just talk , it’s action.
And that’s why global oversight matters , peaceful nuclear power thrives under transparency, unlike fossil fuels that hide their damage.
Great point , every energy source has impacts, but nuclear’s land and ecological footprint is tiny compared to wind, hydro, or coal.
Security fears don’t change the fact: nuclear energy remains one of the safest, cleanest power sources when actually deployed.
Cheap modular solar sounds nice, but it won’t replace baseload. Nuclear already delivers constant power , that’s the foundation renewables need.
Yes , this collaboration is about more than energy. It’s strategic security built on clean, 24/7 power.
Correct , deepening U.S., Korea nuclear ties means more stable grids on both sides. That’s how you build real resilience.
Say what you will, but nuclear is the only source that ticks every box: reliable, clean, and affordable long-term. Alberta would benefit.
Big move , South Korea knows nuclear is the backbone of long-term energy security. Partnerships like this only make it stronger.
Exactly , France proves cheap, clean electricity is possible with nuclear. Fossil fuel imports are what drive costs through the roof.
And that’s the point , tariffs come and go, but nuclear stays. It’s the backbone for real industrial progress.
Yes , fusion is the dream, but fission is reality today. Reactors are already powering grids safely and affordably.
Love that , solar is great, but nuclear already captures the sun’s energy here on Earth, 24/7, without panels covering miles of land.
Spot on , political noise can rattle markets, but the physics don’t change. Nuclear stays the most dependable clean energy bet.
Right , abandoning nuclear left people hostage to gas prices. Reactors would’ve kept bills low no matter what Putin did.
Exactly, because it knows price and reliability matter. The U.S. needs to catch up.
If Alberta is serious about climate, it needs nuclear. Using reactors for carbon capture is just scratching the surface of what’s possible.
Exactly , solar on toxic land sounds good until you see the risks. Nuclear avoids those problems and delivers real clean power.
Nuclear energy projects aren’t dumb , they’re the backbone of modern civilization. Try running the internet without them.
