I’ll be the Debbie, don’t expect the nuclear miracle here on the states. The California/west coast and New England nuts will fight it all the way.
Stupid heads out-gassing violently as we read right now. Hopefully sufficient pressure builds in the reactors on their shoulders to split open their cores.
There is nothing environmentlly questionable about nuclear energy...except, you know, the disposal of waste heat and spent fuel, and the occasional core meltdown.
Haven’t you learned anything lately. They will just redefine the terms used to generate nuclear energy. Uranium will be Greenium. Reactors will be Passivaters. Cooling towers will become Unicorn Vents. Radiation will become Aurora-Carbonallis. And so on. Newspeak can fix any perception.
I wonder what the death rate per workman by energy form is, and the payout for annual injuries per workman.
A rare burst of sanity in the U.K. High time. Now if the US would only follow suit. SMRs are the ideal form of distributed generation.
Poverty tends to clarify people’s ability to think.
Huh.
Guess the nook industry in Britain finally clued in and got the cash to the right Swiss bank accounts.

Two new reactors are coming on line in Georgia this year.
Of course, they are both way past their original time frame,
and way over their original cost estimate.
yes, yes, yes
yes, yes, yes
Burning fossil fuels makes plants grow faster now, and in the long run also saves life on earth from death in the next ice-age. Fossil fuels are actually the most environmentally sustainable fuels, but unfortunately our governments are too stupid to realize it.
“cheap and reliable”
Nuclear is not cheap.
Many of the French reactors are down.
lol green morons shut them all down 50 YEARS ago!!! now they decide they were WRONG (as usual) and are now saying Nuclear is the way of the future!
The left is INSANE!!!!!!!!!
Not sure it has been environmental concerns that has been the factor explaining the reluctance of Tory and Labour governments in building nuke plants, it is the enormous start up costs and time it takes to build them.
Politicians are short termist and want results they can brag about to the electorate for the money they invest.
Reality hitting the Brits upside the head with a 2x4 and restoring some sense.
The death rate per kwh produced is 5 times greater for rooftop solar than for nuclear, and lower even more than wind.

Very interesting article!
Thank you!
