If America had built 1,000 nuclear reactors by 2000 and continued expanding, nuclear power would supply ~90% of our electricity today, even with dramatically higher demand from electrification.
We wouldn’t just have cheaper, abundant electricity. We’d have an entirely different industrial economy. Never forget what they stole from you.
Ralph Nader, 1997: “When we came out against nuclear power in the early '70s, the government had predicted that there would be 1,000 nuclear plants by the year 2000 in the United States, and there's 109 and shrinking, as more and more get shut down.” pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline…

BREAKING: The number of restaurants in New York dropped ~2,000 YoY in Q1 2026, posting its largest YoY decline in at least 36 years.
This surpasses even the worst contraction recorded in any quarter during the 2020 pandemic.
The number of eating and drinking places in New York State has now declined YoY for 4 consecutive quarters, its longest streak since 2021.
This comes as restaurants are facing surging operating expenses, including insurance premiums, wages, interest rates, utilities, and health coverage, with overall costs rising faster than national averages.
Last year, employee health insurance costs jumped +12.9% for New York-area service firms, business insurance rose +7.0%, while utility costs surged +8.5%, according to the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.
Skyrocketing costs are crushing New York restaurants.

Showers this morning will give way to temporarily clearing skies and highs in the 70s. Another round of storms is likely this evening, and they could be severe with strong winds. It gets much cooler tonight. The vibes are all over the place!

Increasingly sunny as the day goes on, with high temperatures in the lower 70s and a light southerly breeze. Dew points are a bit high for this time of year, but otherwise the vibes are actually quite nice out there today!!

Water vapor loop of Hurricane #Isaias. You can see the moment strong vertical wind shear associated with an upper low over Texas hits the storm, quickly ripping apart its inner core around the time of landfall.
