jeffw@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Can we afford to be afraid of nuclear power?393·5 天前So… to summarize the argument: we have to build nuclear plants, even though they are the most expensive renewable per kWh and they take the longest amount of time to build (even by the author’s “fast” timeline standards) because we don’t have batteries that can store wind and solar energy, even though there are multiple emerging potential solutions that could result in days-long storage capacity.
Not buying it. I don’t buy the “unsafe” argument but I also don’t buy this argument
Edit: this same publication that published this op-ed published a pretty negative review of this book, funny enough: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jun/02/going-nuclear-by-tim-gregory-review-a-boosterish-case-for-atomic-energy

jeffw@lemmy.worldOPMto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court hands Trump major win, limits judges’ ability to block birthright citizenship order nationwide40·15 天前The main takeaways here are:
The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a suit into a class action.
The court did not rule on the legality of Trump’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship, although the three liberal justices said the president’s directive was clearly unlawful.
So, the plaintiffs will need to certify as a class in order for judges to issue nationwide injunctions now. That’s a pretty huge shift.
