Hello followers of my brother Trevor. I'm his younger sister and wanted to let you all know that he sadly died on Thursday 20 March. He was so passionate of all things environmental and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Trevor, you were greatly loved by many.

France will provide a government loan to EDF, to build six new reactors that will provide ~10 GW of power. Construction is expected to start in 2027. Operation is expected by 2038. Article link in reply. The plants will have a contract for difference (CFD) arrangement where

We deep dived the thermodynamic scandal that is the Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance in this report. Summary of findings Energy losses: Steep energy losses make the proposed hydrogen exports economically suspect, as most of the energy spent to produce, export, and deliver
Atlantic Canada is unlocking the power of hydrogen energy—creating jobs, attracting investment, and securing global partnerships in the process. Here's how: ✅ New legislation passed to unlock offshore wind energy in Atlantic Canada by modernizing the regulatory framework (Bill

Europe's pro-nuclear nations, including Sweden, are calling for more support of baseload power generation, which is necessary for grid reliability. Article link in reply. They also point out that EU policies are still not tech-neutral. The EU sets targets for renewable

The UK first started to subsidise windfarms in 1990! We were told that wind technology was immature and needed a helping hand Now, in 2025, the UK Government thinks wind subsidies need to increase from 15 to 20 years (most of the life of a windfarm)

The UK is the second worst place in the WORLD for solar. After Ireland!!! @ed_miliband stop giving away prime agricultural land to this nonsense It's a massive waste of natural resources and promotes ongoing use of forced labour in the Chinese solar supply chains

Anti nuclear activism groups like the Australian Conservation Foundation are spending hundreds of thousands on anti nuclear ads like these. Most people think donating to these groups helps the koalas. Instead it goes to disinformation campaigns like these. Support Nuclear for

Another example of how new nuclear construction depends on climate (decarbonization) policies. Things like repealing the IRA's clean power supports, and this example of a state delaying decarb targets, make it hard to (economically) justify new nuclear construction.
Unfortunate to see the NC GOP seeking to delay nuclear scale-up by repealing the state's interim power decarb standard (while retaining net zero by 2050). Public Staff modeling shows a 50% reduction in nuclear expansion by 2035 under GOP's bill ("NCGA - Base").

Big ovation followed the Hungarian 🇭🇺 opposition figure Peter Magyar's words: "The spring is here, The spring of the Hungarians, and We, together will end Orban's winter"

China just LEAPFROGGED Western chip technology overnight. • Their new system BREAKS a $200 billion monopoly on advanced chips • U.S. officials said it was IMPOSSIBLE just 6 months ago • Western tech giants are SCRAMBLING to respond 🧵 What this means for your smartphone, AI,

I can't believe this needs to be said: the U.S. should not be developing plans to forcefully seize territory from friendly nations without any provocation. https://t.co/hUFCy3yk9z

U.S. officials familiar with the planning said options for "reclaiming" the vital waterway include close cooperation with Panama's military and, absent that, possible war.

@auren Why not? Poland has been progressing for years, it just doesn’t get much notice or coverage in the media/social media.
Stagnation. Overregulation. Deindustrialisation. These words are often thrown around to describe Europe, but are they accurate? 🧵

India has built 220 MW indigenous pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWRs) for a long time, and is now building 700 MW PHWRs. It's also proceeding with 200 MW and 55 MW "Bharat" SMRs. Article link in reply. They expect the construction time for the SMRs to be 5-6 years. They

I'm from France. We're the world's biggest electricity exporter but can't compete in AI. 18,000 French AI experts fled to America while our startups drown in paperwork. Here's how Europe is wasting its once-in-a-generation tech advantage 🧵:

Just Austrian children being taught that nuclear is literally a fossil fuel along with coal and oil. Austria then goes around Europe suing countries who try to build nuclear plants. Austria was the jersey sponsor of Putin's favorite football club. Europe in a nutshell.

@rix_trevor Within 20 years will lead the world in safe, clean abundant electricity. Way to go. Thorium MSR. IMHO, fusion is a dead end.
Unlike uranium, thorium doesn't need enrichment for reactor use. This simplifies fuel preparation. Reduces proliferation risks. Creates perfect opportunity for energy independence. But here's what makes China's approach revolutionary:

China built an 'infinite energy' reactor while America argues about windmills. Their $1.3B breakthrough generates power for 60,000 years—using materials we throw away. What experts call 'the energy revolution that will reshape global power': 🧵

HOUSTON: Tech giants joining together with heavy energy users to support the Triple Nuclear by 2050 pledge. Just announced minutes ago, with the signing event later today at the CERAWeek global energy conference. Everyone is realizing that, in the end, we are all baseload.
