Writing about climate change, renewable energy, and Big Oil/Big Gas/Big Everything for Earther. Formerly of the Center for Public Integrity & Nexus Media News. I'm very tall & have a very short dog.

absolutely there are better uses! the issue is no one is buying the nuclear because it’s so expensive, even though we need that carbon-free power when wind and solar are offline. plants are sitting there producing power that essentially no one is using while losing money and coming closer to closing.
doesn’t change that at all, but if the industry insists on continuing to exist, they may as well support a financially struggling carbon free form of electricity while they’re at it
i actually had a shoutout to sam bee’s coverage that i now realize somehow got edited out! def should have clarified that she’s the standout here :)
thanks for this, you’re right! we’ve updated the story with a correction.
