Whoopsie! (Reminder that people can Have legit reasons to dislike data centers and it’s often more about the perceived fairness of the process) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Corporations and billionaires don’t want you to know what political messages they are funding. That’s why they make the info so difficult to find. PaidForBy.info changes the game. It’s 100% free to use. Please check it out and spread the word!

After all the discourse about voter ID and mail-in ballots in the U.S., it blew my mind that as an American abroad I can register to vote online, and they sent me my ballot in an email. I have to mail or fax it back to the U.S., but some states let you email it back! www.fvap.gov/citizen-vote...

Living in Sweden during the election season is very fun for a politics-wonk. Eight parties (in parliament), all putting up posters and sending us extensive literature every week. The local Liberals support SMRs, and this random dude hates wind & the EU & NATO

If you missed the boat on pre-ordering, the good news is now you can buy it without the wait 😀

Look, I strongly support new nuclear power in the U.S....but this just seems like an obvious conflict of interest? www.notus.org/money/trump-...

New blog post from me up at @theniaorg.bsky.social. It’s a follow-up to my Right-Sizing Reactors report from January, with policy recommendations for different size classes of nuclear reactors. nuclearinnovationalliance.org/one-size-doe...

Too much of a good thing?

Love this piece from @carbonbrief.org. Pretty much every source of electricity is affected by heat waves, even transmission! www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-ho...

A really great example of how the nuclear industry has learned from the historical opposition to "Decide and Announce" siting. Now they look for communities to express interest in hosting as a first step: www.ans.org/news/2026-07...

New post up on my Substack, something I've been thinking about a lot over the past year: "When Power Becomes a Liability: How Authoritarian Politics Can Turn the Public Against Nuclear Energy" jlovering.substack.com/p/when-power...

Nuclear Innovation Alliance is hiring for three roles. Great opportunities to work with lovely people on an important issue. DM me for more details. nuclearinnovationalliance.org/career-oppor...

Anyone else having trouble downloading the new Statistical Review of World Energy from Energy Institute? Report and data both freeze for me www.energyinst.org/statistical-...

Summer is here, and it’s not just air conditioners that are blasting. More heat pumps than ever are flexing their cooling muscles.

Still convinced Musk is a shrewd businessman? www.carscoops.com/2025/06/tesl...

Asking for a friend: anyone know where to find Overnight Construction Cost for three nuclear reactors in South Korea: SAEUL-2, SHIN-HANUL-1, SHIN-HANUL-2. They were completed in 2019, 2022, and 2024. Any leads?

You sure you want to scrap NEPA? 😉 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

Hey! Next Wednesday, 12:00 MDT, this is going to be a really fun webinar... Science at the Edge: Next Generation Nuclear Organized by the Denver Museum of Natural History's Institute for Science & Policy Register here: institute.dmns.org/perspectives...

Check out this artsy artefact I got in a random photo of power lines I took

Had a lovely time in London yesterday at @economist.com Nuclear Summit, talking about whether it's feasible (or fantasy?!?) to triple global nuclear energy capacity by 2050

Bipartisan group of lawmakers looks to overturn Minnesota's ban on nuclear energy...because of decarbonization deadline. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/19/w...

Japan investing $40B to build SMRs in Tennessee and Alabama www.investing.com/news/stock-m...

Germany is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels, which is a choice it made through policy. I just had a German colleague tell me proudly yesterday that Germany was the first country to "successfully" phase out nuclear. Define successfully... www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Great news! New nuclear power coming to Wyoming. www.ans.org/news/2026-03...

A great mix, IMHO. nuclear + wind = cheapest electricity in Sweden. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Not the first time there's been a challenge to California's nuclear moratorium, but I hope this gains some momentum. We need clean firm power! www.ans.org/news/2026-02...

My favorite party trick in Sweden is to tell people how much we paid monthly for daycare in the the U.S., followed by how much paid parental leave we got 😂

Even if you disagree, the optics of *how* the administration has gone about this rule overhaul have been terrible: Scientists decry Trump’s rush to loosen radiation exposure standards | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

This was a really interesting conversation on the geopolitics of nuclear energy with Hodo 1930, a Japanese news program youtu.be/osGR_F0YK08?...

Have you ever wondered if small nuclear reactors could possibly beat out the economies of scale from large reactors? Check out my latest report @theniaorg.bsky.social “Right-Sizing Reactors: Balancing trade-offs between economies of scale and volume” tinyurl.com/bdhz27wt

I hear this skepticism a lot: sure, an SMR could work in the U.S. or Europe, but it wouldn't be safe to deploy hundreds of them in emerging economies, right? Well, Hamna Tariq (Energy for Growth Hub) and I dug into this energyforgrowth.org/article/disp...

Hey, some good news out of Denmark: energywatch.com/EnergyNews/P...

Such a fun conversation w/ @jamespethokoukis.bsky.social, we talked about whether this nuclear revival is gonna stick fasterplease.substack.com/p/a-final-an...

I've got a new report coming out @theniaorg.bsky.social Right-Sizing Reactors: Balancing trade-offs between economies of scale and volume Register for the report release webinar (1/30); we will have a great panel to discuss: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

That's not "cool", that's a tragedy. U.S. has maternal mortality twice the rate of the average high-income country. Of course you have a bunch of dudes shrugging it off, then asking why women don't have more babies.

Look, I think ALARA should have been reformed, but the timing of this announcement is pretty unfortunate, to say the least. Will not engender public trust in nuclear going forward...
