Hi there, I'm posting a lot about nuclear energy, but I can branch out to:

  • Politics: I'm an 'orthodox' marxist. I'll probably use https://socialis.me/@Emil for those posts.
  • Esperantisto.
  • Environment: you know my pro-nuclear stance, but did you know I'm an ecomodernist?
  • Democracy: Sortition is the way to go.
  • Economy: abolish the money economy and replace it by cybernetic communism, using labourtime as our measurement for planning.

@IceCubesApp and this?

@IceCubesApp ok, so replying from the timeline doesn’t crash the app. Tapping on a post and THEN replying does.

The central committee of IDA made the following statement in a press release yesterday:

“In light of the technological development, it is IDA's opinion that the Danish Parliament's decision from 1985 not to use nuclear power in public energy planning should be changed, so that Denmark has an open approach to offering the most efficient fossil-free energy mix in the future.”

IDA is one of Denmark's largest trade unions, representing over 170,000 members within STEM.

Energy economist Björn Peters speaks with ESNA about an article in Cicero, The German’s Greens Scandal on the Nuclear Phase Out, and his insights into the matter, published on his own website. Björn Peters is a German physicist and energy economist, as well as the co-founder and CFO of the nuclear-energy startup, Dual Fluid Energy.

Nine months ago, Russell Gold wrote a story about what he called the Great Sweetwater Blade Boneyard. It was about a company that promised it would recycle wind turbine blades, but … didn’t. Speaking of promises, the head of Global Fiberglass, the company was paid to collect and recycle these blades (which it didn’t) told me: “If you come back nine months from now, you will not see the material.”

He went back after nine months. Guess what? The blades were still there.

Next week there's the State of the Nuclear Energy Industry. You can watch this online!

Last year has seen a lot of forward momentum for nuclear energy, and signals for what's to come. Make sure you're tuned in on May 14.

“I have to say I changed my mind” Michael Douglas starred in The China Syndrome and was rabidly anti-nuclear for 40 years, admits that nuclear is a part of the way to solve climate change.

Climate change is a problem the world chose to have because nuclear power was 'scary'.

This map shows where Russia is currently attacking GPS signals in the EU.

According to this brilliantly researched article from Peter Møller, Russia has a classified weapons system called Tobol, which is jamming GPS satellites from a base in Kaliningrad.

By using photos and articles from before the war, he has managed to piece together a surprisingly clear picture of what the Russians are doing.

(In Danish but translating it is absolutely worth it.)

@randahl What surprises me is why the West isn't doing the same. Tit for tat. In fact, the West could easily disable their GLONASS network for huge swaths along the border.

@collectifission@greennuclear.online avatar

@randahl True, but it would hugely help against the drones attacking Ukraine.

If you ever wonder why nuclear energy is so expensive to build in the US, which fueled the myth that it is expensive everywhere via the numbers by Lazard which base themselves on the US market, just take a look at this graph.

@collectifission@greennuclear.online avatar

@Emil Of course, the work only just begins. Decades of dependence on Russian nuclear fuel has decimated Western industry on this. The ban makes room for Western nuclear fuel companies to exist, especially American ones. It'll take around a decade to build up this industrial infrastructure.

If you think spent nuclear fuel is a problem, you're either not well informed or you're actively being the problem.

@SimpleMan Please do! This would mean the air quality would improve dramatically in my backyard, as I live next to a big chemical industrial site.

Radioactive waste is not forever. It loses by far most of its radioactivity in the first 300 years, presuming we deal with it it as if it's actual waste, and not a valuable resource. You can hold a rod of plutonium-239 just fine, and that's the most active substance after that time.

But it is actually a valuable resource, both in energy and other isotopes, that we can recycle if we want to: https://greennuclear.online/@collectifission/112438152684318840

@TonyStark
Absolutely correct. In my country, the Netherlands, every small town now has some sort of campaign group active against putting up more wind turbines. We'll need thousands more. Do the math: this will be a social and legal nightmare.

Compare that with a few nuclear power plants. The NIMBYism is far lower for obvious reasons.

Of course, we still need both I'm afraid. We need to embrace ALL technologies to get to zero emissions.
