My photo kissing a nuclear waste cask went viral and people had… opinions about it. There was outrage, with many claiming it was dangerous and that I was hurting my future children (lol). Here’s why kissing a nuclear waste cask is actually fine🧵

My generation is obsessed with “finding ourselves” before entering relationships or having kids. The irony is that we can only discover who we are and grow into our true selves through being in relationship with other human beings.

Nuclear has a PR problem. Say the word and many people picture bombs and hazmat suits. In her new book Rad Future, science creator Isabelle Boemeke (Isodope) takes those images head on and argues...

Global nuclear power generation is set to reach a historic high in 2025 & grow further in 2026 As @IEA flagged 4 years ago, nuclear is making a strong comeback globally, with investment up 50% in 5 years, 11 new reactors coming online this year & technologies like SMRs emerging

One thing doomers frequently get wrong is that technology doesn’t usually kill us in the most obvious, destructive ways. It does so in the more sneaky, insidious ways. It’s death by a thousand paper cuts of things that slowly kill our souls.
We were promised AGI, ASI, personal superintelligence. Instead, we will get infinite slop machines that turn us into dopamine-addicted zombies.

In the meantime, the 80+ new reactor companies can prove their design and hopefully get to start building in the future too. We just can’t wait for it to start deploying.

I love nuclear and have been a huge cheerleader for the past five years. But this New York Climate Week, I’ve changed my tone to be a lot more direct. Why? Because this is the *last* nuclear renaissance and we cannot afford to focus on vaporwave solutions that won’t get

Standing in front of nuclear waste at the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which was shut down in 2021. 127 of these casks hold ~all the waste~ from almost sixty years of making 25% of NYC’s electricity. Now show me the waste from the fossil fuels plants that replaced Indian

this nuclear power plant cost 13 billion and was never finished. it never powered anything. had it been completed, it could have produced up to 5000 megawatts. to produce 5000 megawatts with solar would take solar panels covering an area the size of THE ENTIRETY OF SAN FRANCISCO
With the push of a button, the 540’ cooling tower in Hartsville, TN, safely came down this morning. The iconic structure was removed to make the Hartsville site safer and ready for tomorrow’s potential opportunities. ⚡🏗️

The canceled Hartsville nuclear power plant project is a reminder of how *vibes* can have a huge impact in the world. The site was supposed to have four reactors that could today be cranking out electricity for over 5 million people. Construction began in 1977, but two years

Gold Has Magnetic Properties! Not True? Read This... Today, for the first time in history, Silver surpasses $50 for more than a moment. Why? Monex Spot Gold opens the week at $4,083. Per our previous post, the world of investors want ounces, and the heightened price per ounce

RAD FUTURE book event in LA. For decades, big Hollywood names used their platform to advocate against nuclear. Now they use it to clear up misconceptions and inform people that nuclear is safe, clean and a huge part of the future.

The U.S. is positioning itself internationally to help countries in developing nations build their nuclear electricity program. This is huge because currently China and Russia are leading the charge. https://t.co/WbGtJE1jeV
Great discussion today at the #IAEAGC between @SecWright and African leaders. Multiple countries are making strides toward establishing civil nuclear programs to meet growing power demands and the U.S. is here to support their efforts every step along the way.

Startup @oklo is investing $1.68 billion to build a facility to recycle nuclear waste. This will help establish new supply chains to support the nuclear renaissance.
Oklo plans to add 800 American nuclear energy jobs with a $1.68 billion investment. @ENERGY is helping assemble a nuclear supply chain that puts America in control of our energy future.

All American nuclear is winning so much, it’s hard to keep track. Here are this week’s biggest news: - Ted Garrish confirmed as @ENERGY’s assistant secretary for nuclear energy. Garrish has over 40 years of experience, working on waste, fuel and international partnerships.
BREAKING: U.S. Senate confirms Ted Garrish as @ENERGY’s assistant secretary for nuclear energy. Mr. Garrish has more than 4 decades of extensive experience in both the federal government and private sector. Vote ➡️: https://t.co/ndFzLyv8Rg Bio ➡️ https://t.co/BnyJXNKClS

The main issue with AI risk is that we don’t really have a tangible image of how bad it *can* be. With nuclear, it was easy. We had the mushroom cloud. Pictures of terrified children running away from crumbling buildings. That emotional scar motivated people to try and stop

Three Mile Island was once a symbol of fear. Today, it’s where @isabelleboemeke reframes nuclear as a catalyst for abundance.
