Congress passed a ban on uranium from Russia. The ban goes into effect 90 days after being signed into law. The bill also unlocks up to $2.7B to build out the domestic uranium processing industry. The US currently imports around 12% of uranium from Russia reuters.com/world/us/us-se…

Do you think mining is an issue? Then you should be all about clean energy sources. We need to dig way less stuff to generate electricity from nuclear, wind and solar than from fossil fuels. And if you think mining is a huge issue, then you should be all about nuclear energy.

@J_Lovering Gas plants have a certain minimum they can run at. Since they’re still necessary for evening peak and overnight, and because it can take a decent bit of time to start them up from cold, it’s easier to leave them at minimum so they’re ready to ramp.

New analysis w/@wang_seaver and @PeterCookBTI on the climate benefits of two stalled mines in Minnesota. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
@Dr_A_Stein @atrembath Was literally just thinking about this… 🙏 🙏
@Dr_A_Stein This report offers fresh insights into the material needs and mining impacts for clean energy. A must-read for sustainability advocates!
I spoke on a panel on decarb & a just transition at the US Climate Action Summit. The conversations about environmental justice, high-road labor policy, community benefits, & other just transition elements were front & center. That’s the result of a lot of hard work by advocates.
Begging solar PV advocates not to use this chart as an argument against nuclear. Awesome stuff in this thread!
So, on a per-GW capacity basis, most materials are unsurprisingly concrete + steel. Solar needs the least materials (114 kt/GW). An AP1000 nuclear plant or offshore wind farm are both at 280 kt/GW. Onshore wind, the EPR, and BWRX-300 are comparable at 540-630 kt/GW.
Excellent work here updating mining intensity for different electricity options. What makes it innovative is Seaver et al’s rock-to-metal ratio metric. It’s long been frustrating how previous analyses don’t take into account that the mass of metal produced ≠ mass of rock dug up
To supply low-carbon power to a grid via nuclear, solar, wind, or grid batteries, how much material must we dig up to build those power plants? Answer: far less than for fossil fuels, with nuclear needing the least mining. New @TheBTI report by my team: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Do you think mining is an issue? Then you should be all about clean energy sources. We need to dig way less stuff to generate electricity from nuclear, wind and solar than from fossil fuels. And if you think mining is a huge issue, then you should be all about nuclear energy.

🚨New Report: Updated Mining Footprints and Raw Material Needs for Clean Energy What are the material intensity and associated mining impacts of energy sources? This report aims to provide updated values and much-needed rigor. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Mining impact is expressed as kg of rock (that must be moved) per GW-hr of electricity generation. The rock masses associated with a large list of material inputs are presented and summed. The data show that fossil generation, particularly coal, have the largest inputs/impacts.…
