Come work with us! The Breakthrough Institute is hiring a Nuclear Energy Innovation Analyst/Senior Analyst to join our Nuclear Innovation team. If you're passionate about a clean-energy future made possible by nuclear energy, this is the job for you! thebreakthrough.org/about/jobs
Small isn't beautiful. In a new post for Breakthrough Journal, @MattLWald shows how gas and propane powered back-up generators are clear examples of how small-scale solutions to energy challenges are often ugly -- for pocketbooks and climate alike. thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…
A new report out today from @TheBTI tallies up the mining footprint of different energy sources. The bottom line? Switching to renewables and nuclear will mean less mining. Thanks @wang_seaver for giving me the first look at this one for @techreview technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…
🚨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/…
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/…
@TheBTI analysis confirms that permitting copper-nickel mines could do more for climate progress than hitting Minnesota's ambitious economywide net zero goal. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Climate feedback loops garner lots of attention, but less-appreciated social feedback loops affect the generation of climate science itself, with serious consequences. Read @PatrickTBrown31's piece for Breakthrough Journal on the meta-science of climate: thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…
25% of copper + nickel from the stalled Twin Metals + NewRange projects in Minnesota could support solar/wind displacing fossil fuels on the order of 40%-80% Minnesota’s emissions over the next 20 yrs. New piece by myself, @juzel_lloyd, @PeterCookBTI. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Opposition to critical mineral mining in the U.S. makes decarbonization harder and pushes production into regions with poor labor standards. For @TheBTI, @wang_seaver @juzel_lloyd and @PeterCookBTI estimate the opportunity cost of 2 stalled mines in MN: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
It is nice to see the Fusion Industry change its position to acknowledge that NEIMA must be amended to allow its preferred regulatory licensing pathway—something we have been saying for years @TheBTI. fusionindustryassociation.org/senators-padil…
"If policymakers want low-carbon, reliable electricity systems... they will need to invest public resources in something other than intermittent renewable energy to get there." Read @TedNordhaus's review of the "The Price is Wrong" in @ForeignPolicy: foreignpolicy.com/2024/04/21/chr…
"How can we expect environmental politics to translate real-world community interests when the digital institutions of environmental justice weaponize the algorithmic biases of Internet media to make powerful claims about democratic representation?" @atrembath on substack.
Climate discourse, especially on social media, is too often understood as politics itself. Ideas matter, to be sure, but emissions reductions happen, at the end of the day, offline. Read @atrembath's newest piece for the Breakthrough Journal: thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…

Me, @atrembath, @alexjmssmith introducing new @TheBTI Journal on Substack. thebreakthroughjournal.substack.com/p/reconstructi…
The NRC Commission voted to move forward with a Generic Environmental Impact Statement for advanced reactors. Importantly the decision moves forward with codification of the GEIS, instead of moving it to guidance. This is important for regulatory certainty.
“Sweeping and misleading characterizations of the warming potential of coal versus natural gas combustion do not advance efforts to better track, or reduce, methane emissions.” Latest from me and @JonahMessinger @TheBTI: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
"Progress, Rediscovered" in @reason where I report on the new and growing progress movement reason.com/2024/04/06/pro… that actually advocates for technological, scientific, and industrial progress and economic growth. @IFP @WorksInProgMag @HumanProgress @progressntwrk @TheBTI
