Based Yoon Suk Yeol: Every chip foundry will need a 1.3GW reactor because chip manufacturing requires high quality and stable power. โ€œGiving up nuclear means not only losing chipmaking, but other high tech industries.โ€ How will Taiwan compete with a nuclear exit by 2025?

Truly sad that this is one of the winners for the 2023 National Geographic Taiwan Photo Contest. Iโ€™m going to guess this is abandoned solar panels in the Liujia district of Tainan. Congratulations to Lin Yi-Hsuan (ๆž—ๅ„€็‘„) for the great capture.

The Grohnde nuclear power plant with a capacity of almost 1.4GW is located in German state of Lower Saxony. In a few days the German gov will force its closure on political grounds and replace it with fossil fuels in the middle of a climate & energy crisis. #SaveGer6

Degrowth is not an option. It doesn't mean "update your phone less often." It means hungry babies, freezing grannies, people who have nothing but tears in the face of lack. Abundant energy is the basis of civilization and the bare minimum of comfort that all deserve.

Sometimes, I really wish western climate activists and academics who work on climate policy spent a year or two living in developing countries. It gives you a perspective and nuance on the energy transition thatโ€™s hard to get from books or attending conferences.

All of Taiwanโ€™s solar panels can be replaced by 2 nuclear reactors at one plant. Solar Taiwan 2022: 4.6% of the grid, from various projects up and down the island. Nuclear Taiwan 2022: 6.3% of the grid just from Maanshan 1+2, plus the last 3 months of Kuosheng 2โ€™s operation.
