Romania is the first country in Europe to get this new #NuclearEnergy technology

> A partnership between #Romania and the US has brought this advanced nuclear tech to the country as part of a scheme called ‘Project Phoenix’. The reactors will replace old, coal-fired power stations.

> ...a plant with six of these modules has received funding of up to €254m. It could create over 2,000 jobs and avoid the production of 4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.

The myth that #RenewableEnergy is expensive while nuclear or fossil energy is cheap is constantly spread by various lobbyists.

The truth is a bit different, but see for yourself

A message from the past about future energy supplies, as seen from 1957! A prescient speech given by Admiral Hyman Rickover, promoter of nuclear-powered submarines, the ultimate SMRs. #NuclearEnergy

There is an ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of nuclear energy in addressing climate change. Opponents of nuclear power cite several concerns, including the high costs associated with nuclear power plants, safety hazards, challenges in disposing of nuclear waste, and concerns related to nuclear proliferation. The question remains: are these arguments valid and based on evidence? #NuclearEnergy #ClimateChange

Sign up for our upcoming research tour ➡️ Exploring #energy and #climate stories: Insights on Poland's pre-election discourse

#Elections in #Poland 🇵🇱 will be crucial for the direction of energy and climate policy in this part of Europe, as ongoing war in Ukraine still impacts #energysecurity, attitudes toward #climateaction, approaches to #nuclearenergy, and the sustainability of #foreignrelations and alliances.

"Maintaining and expanding nuclear fission power may be a sensible plan for countries with existing infrastructure. For Ireland, it would do nothing to improve our energy security, and given that it would most likely be 2050 before any reactor is completed (at a cost we can only guess at), it would do nothing to decarbonise our economy. This does not seem to be a wise investment." - Dr Jon-Ivar Skullerud, Maynooth University

@rticks another example of why it is good to be able to choose between the #US and #China. #SaudiArabia have been begging the US for civilian #nuclearenergy power for ages but they refuse because #Israel says no.

Since the coalition is so keen for nuclear power I have to ask:
1. How long does it take to build a nuclear power station?
2. How much does it cost to build a nuclear power station?

> Since 1945 we have known that nuclear technology could generate cheap energy for the benefit of humans—but could also physically destroy human civilisation.

The article seems stupid, but part of it motivated me to see if Amitav Ghosh wrote about AI(Salami)

Le rinnovabili sono in dirittura d'arrivo per sorpassare il carbone nel 2024. E il nucleare fermo al palo, nonostante chi urla per dire che è veramente cosa buona e giusta, nostro dovere e fonte di salvezza. #Nonuke :nonuke:
