Australian engineer Bobby Gallagher built a truck-sized 1 MW nuclear microreactor the Unity Nuclear Battery that can run for years without refuelling. It is illegal to build or operate here because of Australia’s ban on nuclear power. The US is now commercialising it. We banned the technology and exported... show more

The government has run out of excuses for keeping nuclear power illegal. During this interview with Anthony Albanese the hosts press him on why nuclear power is banned… Albo: “no one is saying that - hey, we want to invest in this [nuclear]. No one.” Host: “There's a rule that says you can't.” Albo: “No, that's because it doesn’t stack up.” Host: “Why do you need a rule if the business case doesn’t stack up, to ban it?” Albo: “Because it doesn’t stack up” Host: “Well, get rid of the moratorium, then” The lack of clear answers goes to show that the government’s only justification for defending the bans on nuclear power is politics. It is wrong to conflate the economics of nuclear with a principled position to just consider nuclear power. At this time, we need all options on the table, including nuclear power.

🚨 NOW: Rep. Byron Donalds demands Democrats PUT UP or SHUT UP on claiming to want affordable energy, saying they should immediately support massive nuclear power plant legislation SPOT ON! "Nuclear power is American technology. We created it." 🇺🇸 "The United States of America needs to get back into the business of building nuclear power plants. The way we do that is reforming the regulatory side to lower those costs!" "So it becomes more efficient. It's not just a big plan that everybody thinks about. It's also allowing for small modular nuclear reactors and micro nuclear reactors to be deployed to help lower utility costs of the people of Florida, but also of all of America." "Small modular reactors are on all of our naval ships. For the most part is technology and energy sources that are just common sense and we can do that. And I think this might even be a conduit for Senate Democrats to join us to have a way to have cheap and readily available power for the people of our country and of Florida." Byron Donalds knows his stuff. He's gonna be a great governor.

Trawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station. Hands down nuclear power is the safest and most abundant source of energy mankind has ever discovered. It is clean, can be reusable (breeder reactors), and has a body count far far less than all other energy production methods. It is the epitome of green. Which is why they dont want you to have it and deliberately conflate nuclear power with nuclear weapons. Meanwhile all the major tech companies are planning to build small modular nuclear power stations for their data centres whilst pushing the green agenda.

$600bn, 4% of the grid, Not ready til the 2040s 👆These are all LIES about nuclear power Here's the facts: 1/ '$600bn Cost' This figure is from the 'Smart' Energy Council (renewable lobby group). It extrapolates the cost of Hinkley C (the most expensive nuclear power plant ever) and literally doubles it. Even the CSIRO assumes lower nuclear capital costs for Australia. 2/ '4% of the grid' This figure is also from the 'Smart' Energy Council from dividing 11GW of nuclear capacity by 300GW of renewable capacity. However, Capacity ≠ Generation. 1GW of renewable capacity generates roughly a third of the power of 1GW of nuclear capacity. 3/ 'Not ready til the 2040s' The IAEA predicts it would take 10-15 years for a new to nuclear country to have nuclear power. The is the advice the Australian Government relies on for nuclear yet is being ignored by the PM & Energy Minister. These claims must be exposed. The nuclear disinformation campaign has gone too far. Also, no wonder the private sector isn't interested in nuclear in Australia. It's literally illegal right now in Australia. Learn more about nuclear: ✍️Sign to lift the ban:

Chris Bowen wants to run Australia on sunshine, wind and batteries. That plan can barely keep the lights on for households, let alone power a fleet of energy-hungry data centres. And his claim that a nuclear power station takes 20 years? More spin. The global average construction time for a nuclear reactor is 6–8 years.

Would you look at this. It turns out the future isn’t wind and solar, It’s nuclear power Happening Now: Construction on 3 Nuclear Power Plants has begun to meet Google’s net zero company goals after demands for more power increased with ai “Oak Ridge, Tennessee, they're building three phases of experimental nuclear power plants here. These are called SMRs. Small modular reactors, smaller, cheaper, and safer than traditional power plants. Instead of fuel rods, they use these fuel pebbles. Cut it in half and you can see the simulated specs of uranium in there. These contain the byproducts. The client for all this is Google. Google's trying to reach its goals of being a net zero company, so they need a lot more clean power now that they're using all this AI stuff. So this company called Kairos Power is gonna build them with luck by 2030, a fleet of small modular reactors for clean, safe nuclear power forever.”

The amount of steel that goes into the foundations of a nuclear power plant is next level. 🔊 It is expensive to build, but consider what you get in return. A source of energy that produces hundreds (or thousands) of megawatts of electricity up to 70-80 years or so. It does not directly pollute or contaminate the air. The 70-80 year remark is based on OL1 & OL2 nuclear reactors in Finland. Commercial production started in 1978 and the current permit allows the plants to operate until year 2050. If you don't build the nuclear power plants, then you have to build lots of coal, natural gas or other baseload forms of energy. Nuclear is by far the best option.

Want to know how the elites’ playbook works? Take a look at Three Mile Island. For decades, the media used the 1979 nuclear accident there as the poster child for why YOU can’t have nuclear energy (although ZERO people died). But now, nuclear is making a comeback! So, why the change of heart? Not because they’re trying to ban fossil fuels. Not because electricity costs are through the roof. Not because they want ALL cars to run off electricity. Nope… It’s because Bill Gates and Microsoft need power for their AI programs. That’s why they’ve switched the propaganda they’re feeding you. You get wind, solar, and rolling blackouts. The elites and AI get nuclear. DESPICABLE.

We’ve made a lot of progress together as Australians and our economy is now turning a corner, but there’s more to do. This election will be a choice between Anthony Albanese and Australian Labor helping you with the cost of living, strengthening Medicare, and Building Australia’s Future - Or Peter Dutton’s higher income taxes and secret cuts to pay for nuclear reactors, making you worse off and taking Australia backwards. #auspol

Jensen Huang predicts within a decade, companies will build their own small nuclear reactors to power AI factories. HUANG: "In the next six, seven years, I think you're going to see a whole bunch of small nuclear reactors. We'll all be power generators. ... it takes the burden off the grid, you could build as much as you need, and you can contribute back to the grid."

Nuclear power is back. After decades of stagnation, people are starting to wonder how we can build nuclear reactors as quickly and cheaply as we did in the 20th Century I sat down with Alex Chalmers and Ben Southwood to talk about why nuclear power can be so good, why it flopped, and how to get it back again. We discuss: • The astonishing energy density of uranium – 100g of it produces the same energy as 1.5 tons of coal – and why it matters • Why nearly every country in the world forgot how to do cheap nuclear at the same time • How the French state built 37 reactors in ten years • Why even solar power optimists should want a nuclear renaissance Plus: Why nuclear meltdowns aren't as scary as people think! Listen now. Links below! Spotify: Apple: Youtube:

Most renewable electricity in the world is not wind or solar, it is hydropower. Hydro produces about 14% of global electricity, and more than half of all renewable power. It is reliable, dispatchable, and produces virtually no CO2 - yet many environmental groups oppose new dams. The same contradiction appears with nuclear power. Nuclear produces zero operational CO2, runs 24 hours a day, and uses far less land than wind or solar. If cutting emissions were truly the priority here, the focus would be obvious: Hydropower and nuclear, not endless wind and solar expansion.

🚨INTERVIEW: “CHINA'S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS RISING, BUT IT’S NOT THERE YET” “China, thanks to whose support the Russian economy is still functioning, and Russia is able to conduct this war, is also not ready for international politics going nuclear. China is a world economic superpower, the largest economy in the world. But it is a mid-power when it comes to nuclear arsenal. China is now the most dynamic nuclear power in terms of developing its nuclear and increasing its nuclear arsenal and its nuclear capabilities. But it is not there yet. China's nuclear arsenal is roughly 10% of what Russia and the United States have in terms of the warheads.” Serhii Plokhy, Harvard Professor of Ukrainian History.

SITUATION ANALYSIS: AI data centers may be driving America’s nuclear comeback. What Christopher Koopman says is happening: • Nuclear companies are already building test reactors • Some are already going critical • Hyperscalers are demanding huge amounts of reliable power • Data centers need baseload electricity that can run around the clock • Chris says you probably don’t get the nuclear renaissance without the data-center build-out • The next unlock is small modular reactor rulemaking • After that, the question becomes how fast America can build

Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future. In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence. The mandate was absolute. Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the year 2000.” One thousand reactors. Unlimited, carbon-free baseload power. Enough electricity to move the entire country to electric vehicles four decades ahead of everyone else. But it went further than energy. Andreessen: “It’s called Project Independence because it means the US won’t have to be involved in the Middle East anymore, because we won’t need the oil.” No oil dependence. No Gulf Wars. No generations of soldiers stationed in deserts protecting supply chains that never needed to exist. A complete strategic withdrawal from the Middle East. Permanent. And none of this was hypothetical. Andreessen: “France ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power. Japan ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power.” Other nations proved it worked at scale. America had more capital, more engineers, and more ambition than all of them. Andreessen: “How many nuclear power plants were built out of the thousand? Rounds to zero.” Zero. Not because the physics failed. Not because something superior replaced it. Because the same administration that drafted the blueprint for unlimited energy also created the institution that killed it. Andreessen: “They never got built because the Nixon administration also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which made it its purpose in life is to stop nuclear power plants from getting built.” Same government. Same decade. Same pen. One directive launching the most ambitious energy program in American history. Another creating the bureaucracy that would quietly dismantle it from the inside. Andreessen: “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission did not approve a new nuclear plant design for 40 years.” Forty years of zero approved designs. Not because no one submitted them. Because the institution built to regulate nuclear energy became the institution built to prevent it. That’s not oversight. That’s abolition dressed as due diligence. We spent the next fifty years fighting wars in the desert for a resource we never needed. Choked the atmosphere with carbon we didn’t have to burn. Terrified an entire generation with the illusion of scarcity. And the entire time, the physics already worked. The government didn’t fail to navigate the energy crisis. They took the densest source of energy in the universe and drowned it in paperwork. Every war fought for oil. Every carbon debate. Every geopolitical crisis of the last half century. All of it was a policy choice. We didn’t lack the technology to power the future. We let a committee outlaw the math.

Germany just flipped on nuclear. Now turn your attention to Australia 🦘 We have the most uranium in the world, a research reactor and are about to have nuclear subs. Yet we have a ban on nuclear power. The world is turning a corner, it’s time for the Australian government to wake up.
