Called it #years ago: https://hackaday.com/2023/12/26/chinas-n.. #china is now #manufacturing #nuclear #power #container #ships . This is *exactly* the route that should be gone down. The only #concern I had was #security , i.e. via a #dirtybomb or something. Either way, this makes *alot* of sense.
Oh would you look at that, #germany is now back in #favour of #nuclear #power https://www.zerohedge.com/political/unex.. This aparrently is because it is seen as better than #coal .
Well, this could be a growing problem... #nuclear #reactors around the #world are getting quite old, with the #us #reactors having an average age of 41.6 years: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/us-nucl.. During an #energy #crisis and #economic #recession , one could see there being an attempt to keep the #nuclear #reactors going far beyond their #safe #limit .
#northkorea could soon really turn into quite a #nuclear #threat https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. Them firing #missiles over #japan is quite #unacceptable .
As if the #german #energy #crisis could not get any worse, they need to #shutdown one of their few #remaining #nuclear #power #plants because of a #suspected #leak https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/german-.. It literally could not happen at a worse time.
Seems like #cern will soon be shutting down to save #energy given the current #eu #energy #crisis https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/ce.. Pretty telling of the time. Whilst #france is doing the right thing in #maintaining their #nuclear #power #plants , they couldn't have chosen a worse time to do them all at the same time!
I said this the other day: https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/eu-ener.. #nuclear #power is needed #immediately in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/political/go-n.. 700 #million #pounds is not nearly enough though. We should also push back on #decommissions for as long as we #dare so that there is significant #overlap in #power #output . Glad to see #china being pushed out of #sizewell in #suffolk too.
Huh, looks like the #german #economic #minister is pushing to keep #nuclear #powerplants #active during the #energy #crisis https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/german.. I called this out in #february , perhaps earlier: https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/russian.. #germany needs to be acting really fast right now, or they have an ultra serious #problem .

#germany apparently looking at another #mask #mandate for #covid https://www.zerohedge.com/political/germ.. Insanity. As if they haven't got bigger problems right now, like #energy #security https://climatechangedispatch.com/german.. Hopefully they #reconsider #nuclear #power like I suggest months ago.
I heard that the #uk is being told to prepare for #energy #rationing , and now I am learning about potential #blackouts https://youtube.com/watch?v=YYHpjbv0VBU Apparently all of the #energy we original got from the likes of #norway are being #redirected to the #eu . *Still not talk about #nuclear #energy or bringing #coal / #gas online.* Fuck paying the #standing #charges for a #blackout . A lot of people #burning #wood this #winter for sure.
#russia directly #threatened the #uk without considering our own #nuclear #capabilities , including #trident and various #submarines and #allies around the world: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. This will not end well for #russians if they play these games.
Great, just as we need it, #france are #reducing their #nuclear #energy #production in favour of #green #energy https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ha.. We will see how well this works out for them and the #eu ...
#russia #threatening that if #poland hosts the #us 's #nukes , they will put #nuclear #weapons on the #border to the #west https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. It seems like the cat might be out of the bag now.
Well damn, #poland are openly welcoming the #us to #base #nuclear #weapons in their #country to #defend against #threats from #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/n.. Absolutely insane times we live in when people *want* the #us 's #nuclearweapons on their #land .
#india " #accidentally " #fired a #missile at #pakistan https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. Bare in mind, both countries have #nuclear #capabilities ... This is not where you want to see #accidents , especially not with the #heightened #situation we see in #europe with #russia !
