America has a massive, unresolved waste problem at the Hanford Site in Washington with no clear end in sight Here's what you need to know:

I'm really confused about a proposed deal between Massachusetts and Connecticut. As an article in the Commonwealth Beacon explains it, the Massachusetts governor is proposing a deal in which her state reluctantly agrees to purchase some electricity from the Millstone nuclear plant under CTs current 10 year PPA. In return, she expects CT to change its mind and agree to purchase 400 MW of electricity from the proposed Vineyard 2 offshore wind farm. Here is what confuses me - the Millstone PPA agreement sets a price of $50/MWh for its emission-free power. If wholesale prices exceed that level, the plant owners will rebate some of the excess back to ratepayers. If wholesale prices fall below $50/MWh, ratepayers still pay the $50/MWh price. The Beacon article does not mention the PPA price for Vineyard 2 output, but based on information from cancelled projects in the same geographic area, it is likely to be $150/MWh or more. Why would CT have any interest in agreeing to pay $150/MWh in return for MA agreeing to pay $50/MWh with the possibility that it might qualify for some rebates? Link to follow (LTF)

Also: show me one (just 1!) nuclear plant built in 3 years.

We are proud to announce the start-up of Unit 4 of the Barakah Plant, a strategic milestone on the path to full fleet operations later this year. Celebrating a remarkable accomplishment as our team successfully delivers another unit, powering our journey towards Net Zero!

I was asked many times in COP28 why Finland needs nuclear. Here pink is wind, green is solar (yes, practically zero) blue is hydro and red is nuclear. The yellow line is today and the purple line after it is the forecast for wind power production. #ClimateAction #nuclear

On a flight to Dubai for COP28, Emirates Airlines has Oliver Stone's documentary Nuclear Now Nuclear is going mainstream. I wonder how many of the estimated 70,000 attendees will have a watch.
