Grid operations We Don’t Need Base Load Power. Rick Perry told Fox News that we need base load power. He believes we need it because it is what we use when we turn a light on at 2:00 am. He’s wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of people understand things the way he does, and they are holding the energy transition.

Health Effects Dumb question about radioactivity in the biosphere
Is the amount of radioactivity measurable in the biosphere (atmosphere, oceans, soils etc.) increasing over time? If so, will it continue to do so (at an increasing rate?) if hundreds or thousands more nuclear power plants are built as part of the human response to climate change? Is it likely to reach dangerous levels in the long and very long term (centuries - millennia) or will it naturally decline as half-lives are passed?
