Really cool for @Steam to mark my account (which Iโ€™ve had for decades) as fraudulent for accepting a Christmas gift card from a friend that was purchased legitimately through the Steam store

That "renewables can replace Russian gas" theory is looking a little weak at the moment

NUCLEAR PLANT SITUATION IN UKRAINE It is critical we share accurate information. We must not incite more fear & panic than is needed. Let us lead with the science & the latest facts. LISTEN TO THIS SPACE โฌ‡๏ธ teapaw.org/i/spaces/1LyxBowlNzoKNโ€ฆ

Nuclear physicist here: there's a lot to be worried about, but one thing you SHOULDN'T worry about, is Russia bombing Ukrainian nuclear power plants. It's literally, physically impossible to make those explode.

Hot take: Germany turning off three large nuclear plants (~3 GW) at the end of this year in the midst of one of the worst fuel and energy crises is a decision that's completely devoid of reason.

I have terrible news. @nyrath, the creator of the Atomic Rockets website, is in hospital with a life threatening condition. His contributions to realism in science fiction over the decades have inspired thousands of people and led to so many of the best works you enjoy today.

TAISHAN, CHINA NUCLEAR EVENT THREAD I'll update this with what we know and what we're learning. First: this isn't a public health risk. Appears to be a fairly typical nuclear plant event caused by one or more fuel bundles leaking fission products into the core cooling water.

RIP Indian Point and thank you to the workers who helped provide an enormous amount of clean energy for almost fifty years.โœŠโš›๏ธโค๏ธ May this be the last early closure we see in the US ๐Ÿ™

.@NRDC is completely shameless, but notice the ratio The tide is turning. Do not lose hope. We must keep fighting for the clean and prosperous future we know is possible.

Todayโ€™s closure of #IndianPoint makes NO sense. My cynicism about US climate policy canโ€™t keep up because: IP #3 by itself, produces more electricity than ALL the wind and solar in NY. @nuclearny @MeredithAngwin @Dr_Keefer My piece in Forbes: forbes.com/sites/robertbryceโ€ฆ

My latest @forbes The closure of Indian Point should make anyone who cares about climate change, electricity prices, or grid security even more cynical about our politicians and the โ€œgreenโ€ groups who insist we must take urgent action on climate change. forbes.com/sites/robertbryceโ€ฆ

Sad
Indian Point shut down its last reactor today, taking an annual amount of clean electricity generation offline similar to that of all wind + solar in the state of New York. Even if replaced by wind/solar (and it won't be for yrs), this is counterproductive for climate. (THREAD)

Bad news for our lungs, bad news for the planet. This decision impacts us all. Do the right thing and keep it open @POTUS @AOC #cleanenergy
100% on point
If we're going to avoid a global climate disaster, nuclear energy will almost certainly have to be part of the solution. This week's last look:

Been seeing this article everywhere lately, but itโ€™s only been presented in a very clickbaity fashion. The trial was essentially for a โ€œpre-vaccineโ€ that didnโ€™t even se mRNA teapaw.org/yodifiji/status/137876โ€ฆ
Replying to @Ian_Gay_briel
Yeah, idk why this is making the rounds and being touted as an mRNA vaccine, but itโ€™s super deceiving and clickbaity. eODGT8-60mer is a high affinity immunogen that can stimulate naive B-cells THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL to become a certain kind of HIV broadly neutralizing antibody

I toured South Texas Project nuclear plant years ago and remember being shocked that their turbine deck was open-air. "We don't really get inclement weather here", I was told. Unfortunately, unit 1 is down bc a feedwater pressure sensing line failed due to cold. Unit 2 at 100%
