Behind the Curtain: The information gods The people with the largest platforms hold more power than ever in shaping reality.

Key point in this @axios.com Information Gods article: “The burden now falls on **you** to find sources of information you trust for reliable truth. That means better scrutinizing not only the publications you choose, but the individuals you follow on social media.” www.axios.com/2025/01/08/m...

Right, as it says, imagine a fuel recycled and re-used many, many, many times. It’s a feature not a bug. This white paper describes TRU recycling as a near-term fuel source for advanced reactors until production ramps up for high assay low enriched uranium HALEU. www.orano.group/usa/en/our-p...

Those are significant concerns, but modern western uranium mining removal methods use tech instead of people. This recent report about a Canadian mine is insightful. youtu.be/6H78NMLGEZM?...

Definitely agree with an all-hands-on-deck approach to the clean energy mix, but why not new nuclear, too? ☢️

Skid piled with large, full, price-discounted canvas bags labeled “Santa’s Bag of Coal”.

Apparently there were fewer bad people than expected in 2024. We could send this surplus Santa coal to Germany—they’re still burning it since Greenpeace helped convince them to shut down nuclear energy first instead of fossil fuels. 🔌💡 #NukeSky

So, I wonder if the 2024 increased funding for adv nuclear (private, IRA/DOE) is a related shift in clean energy investment away from the clean energy sources examined in your article.

Taking the Investment Pulse: Q3 2024 Even in the face of a changing administration, nuclear remains strongly bipartisan, and folks across aisles and state borders are embracing nuclear. Let's break down this quarter's investments.

Yes, I was thinking the emerging advanced reactor tech and its significant investments would be an interesting clean energy comparison. As a resource, the Nuclear Energy Institute tracks these investments with quarterly blog posts. Q3: www.nei.org/news/2024/ta...

Thank you, Arlington National Cemetary, for the commitment, respect, and celebration. It means a lot for family members.

That’s like saying in 2008 the same story has been told about electric vehicles for 200 years. Same as EVs, we’re making progress realizing real-world solutions. With the value of nuclear energy in the clean energy mix, it’s worth looking at the possibilities
