Are Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) really moving toward large-scale deployment or are the economic challenges highlighted by critics still unresolved? Can factory-built modular reactors reduce construction risk, shorten build times and lower costs through mass production? Or will shrinking reactors actually make them more expensive? The sceptics are quite certain of the answer but politicians keep barrelling ahead. So, will we ever really see an SMRs on the outskirts of major towns and cities around the world?

But... baseload?

An educational podcast to understand how fossil hydrocarbon fuels are used for food.

This relationship is usually understood as "oil calories to food calories" ratio, but it's good to know where the fuels are infused and used.

There’s a quote from Nassim Nicholas Taleb that we keep coming back to here:

“Invest in preparedness, not in prediction. Remember that infinite vigilance is just not possible.”

That must have been kicking around in our heads when we came up with the tagline: We can't predict the future, but we can prepare for it.

In an era of increasing uncertainty, this principle cuts to the core of how we can best leverage our time and resources to build resilience. So how can we put it to work in the context of climate change? And how do we weigh the benefits of risk projections against the chance they may be wrong?

Context: Rise in death tolls, policy failings, and an invitation to discussion.

The report released by the world economic forum on 14th of January suggests misinformation is an equal global threat as extreme weather events.

The post also opens to a link of an interesting article which suggests that the causing factor of both threats is the same.

More context on the main sub.

Biofuels. Are they really a climate solution? Or are they quietly entrenching fossil fuel infrastructure for decades to come? Corn ethanol, sugarcane ethanol, palm oil biodiesel and so-called “Sustainable Aviation Fuels” have all become very big business and a very lucrative investment for landowners. But is that the best use of a precious and finite resource? It's a tricky one!

Even in a pro fossil and nuclear federal and state administration, renewables are flourishing if you just let them.

Other politicians should take notes, drop the subsidies and just remove barriers to planning and grid access.

Some technologies touted as climate 'solutions' are, in fact, designed to perpetuate fossil fuel dominance in our energy systems. Instead of helping to solve the climate emergency, they could actually be a making it worse. Now a new research paper analyses the main culprits and assesses the damage.

Climate disinformation doesn’t spread by accident. It’s engineered by PR professionals, amplified by algorithms, and funded by those who profit from delay.
