MYTH: We don't have a solution to nuclear's "waste problem" REALITY: Nuclear waste isn't a problem. In fact, it’s the best solution we have to meeting our energy needs while protecting the natural environment! Here's what you need to know:
The governor is so full of hot gas that he could probably power the grid on his own… When you simultaneously incentivize demand (by courting industry) and disincentivize supply (by decommissioning gas and restricting large scale nuclear), you end up with higher prices. Energy…
Pritzker blames power grid, Trump admin for expected price increase thecentersquare.com/illinois/artic…
What an extraordinarily beautiful cathedral of clean energy It still baffles the mind we came so close to shutting it down for absolutely no reason
Soaring high at Diablo Canyon. We preserve a secluded and healthy stretch of 14-miles of coastline, full of abundant resources that provides an ideal habitat for amazing birds like peregrine falcons, red-tailed hawks, and nesting seabirds.

I like bringing Triscuits to parties so I can mention that “Triscuit” is a portmanteau of “electricity biscuit.” The original production plant was strategically placed to draw power from the Niagara Falls hydro plant for baking ⚡️

Powering AI in the Heartland: a discussion about how the Midwest can lead the next wave of AI infra from energy and data centers to public-private partnerships. Thank you to our world-class panelists: @SueRezin @gilbert36ward @Vegim @wandzilak_drew @MadiHilly
Chicago welcomed @aspenideas climate conference with wildfire smoke and an extreme heat watch. Good thing this city’s been powered 24/7 by clean nuclear energy for 40+ years. What a perfect demonstration for a climate crowd. If you're here, hit me up!
Some Atoms for Peace era nuclear power advertising and propaganda I stumbled on today.
Excited to join a powerhouse panel at @DriveCapital’s “Powering AI in the Heartland” event—one week from today during Tech Week! I’ve taken it upon myself to channel all three Dickensian ghosts: Illinois’ Nuclear Past, Present, and Yet to Come. To find out how scared we should…
Next week, we’ll talk about the nuclear opportunity in the Midwest at our Powering AI in the Heartland event with @MadiHilly, @SenatorRezin, @gilbert36ward, Vegim Begolli from Moonlite(dot)ai, and @wandzilak_drew lu.ma/3c39pddp
I had the absolute pleasure of reading an early draft with @GriffinHilly last year. A fascinating deep dive into the history of the power grid and the visionary who helped shape it. Check it out now!!
Drops tomorrow morning at 8am central standard (aka God's time).
I pressed my baby bump to nuclear waste for a maternity photoshoot
Share a piece of lore about yourself
📢🏙️ Calling Chicago policy people: What do I need to read, or who do I need to speak with, to better get my head around the city’s education policy issues?
Illinois took its nuclear plants for granted for decades Exelon bought Clinton for scrap The state nearly let it shut down in 2016—and then grew even more resentful when it turned out corruption was part of what kept it alive Now that tech companies finally recognize its…
Energy is the lifeblood of modern society and the catalyst for progress Be wary of anyone arguing we need less, not more
Life in 1776: - heat is such a luxury that Thomas Jefferson can’t write in deep winter bc his ink freezes (one reason perhaps why Independence Day is in July) - nighttime darkness is such a burden that George Washington reportedly spent $15k in today’s dollars on candles every…
We just released the biggest poll ever on what the public thinks about nuclear energy. 31 countries, 31,841 people surveyed, 61 questions, 2 million data points Countries surveyed in 2024: G7: 🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇯🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸 BRICS: 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 Other: 🇦🇺🇧🇪🇪🇬🇫🇮🇮🇩🇳🇱🇳🇴🇵🇭🇵🇱🇸🇬🇰🇷🇪🇸🇸🇪🇹🇼🇹🇭🇹🇷🇦🇪🇺🇦🇻🇳 We…
The Original Dumb Day: @JBPritzker vetoing a bill because it would *checks notes* "open the door to the proliferation of large-scale nuclear reactors" The exact reactors that tech companies and data centers are currently scrambling to secure power deals with 🤡
Every day that Illinois fails to lift its moratorium on building large scale nuclear plants is a dumb day… Lots of dumb days! It’s like we have a giant “Closed for Business” sign up for prospective industrial, manufacturing and technology investment.
Trump should work with Congress to abolish the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and create a new regulator fit for a nuclear resurgence, writes @ckoopman.

Hochul is displaying the kind of leadership that Illinois altogether lacks in the governor's office. She's doing this after green NGOs killed Indian Point. IL can't even build what NYPA plans because Pritzker has made it illegal to do so. Weak.
Kathy Hochul, fully nuke-pilled: "There's only one commercially viable option that can deliver that much clean, renewable, reliable power, and that's what's been operating in New York for decades. Nuclear energy, harnessing the power of the atom is the best way to generate…
Speed enforcement cameras save lives. If you don't want a fine, don't speed.
🚨 Chicago’s speed cameras slapped drivers with $90.9M in tickets last year. Who paid most? Low-income residents. What’s @ChicagosMayor solution? Add 50 more cameras. 🧵
