You lump all your talk as Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fail to talk about fusion. You are, as the nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

The way we generate and deliver electricity is due for a makeover. This article by Andreessen Horowitz sets out nicely why we need a decentralized grid that leverages solar, battery storage & advanced nuclear to create a more efficient, dynamic energy system. But even though renewable energy generation requires more decentralization, we still need the existing centralized infrastructure to facilitate this transition by transforming into a "smart grid". This "smart grid" requires innovation across the board, from large-scale renewable energy (ahead-of-the-meter) to home battery systems (behind-the-meter) and powerful grid management software. While supportive policies can help, it's the private sector that will make this decentralized grid outperform the old system.

Microsoft, Google, Nucor Corporation: Large scale energy end-users looking for large scale, reliable, clean energy technologies. Nuclear is on the top of their list to evaluate. The RFI is out too!!: https://lnkd.in/daMSpqxd Go nuclear go, apply! Time has come to move beyond conceptual stage to actual projects. There cannot be a better opportunity, when the large scale end user is ready to buy clean power. #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower https://lnkd.in/d3NJgdsZ
