The Nuclear Land Use Canard Returns
The claim that nuclear power uses less land than renewables is making the rounds again, usually presented as if it settles a complex debate with one clean visual. A nuclear plant fits inside a compact fenced site. Wind turbines are spread across plains and ridgelines. Solar arrays cover visible surfaces. … [continued]

The Electrified Future Is Already Here. Canada Just Needs to Build It
This transcript, lightly edited, is a recorded conversation with a Canadian citizens action group where I walked through a practical, systems-level view of Canada’s decarbonization pathway, grounded in technologies that already work at scale. I focused on what is deployable now, not hypothetical breakthroughs, and explored everything from transmission and … [continued]

German Bionic Cracks The Energy Transition’s Back Problem
The clean energy boom is also creating physically demanding work, and the Bavarian tech company German Bionic has the exoskeleton to power such work, such as manufacturing the components that make the energy transition possible; turbine housings and blades, nacelle assemblies, solar panel frames; which demands thousands of repetitive lifts … [continued]
