Too late, too expensive, too risky and too uncertain. That, in a nutshell, describes NuScale’s planned small modular reactor project. 🧵(1/9) #nuclear #energytwitter #nuclearcosts Communities and utilities are being lured to buy electricity from NuScale’s planned #nuclear reactor at the promise of a relatively low price of $58/MWh. But that’s only an estimate—and a flawed one at that. via @pfannyyy (2/9) postregister.com/news/inl/easte…

Global oil majors are back in the black—but for how long?

Something is different about this #oilprice spike. Instead of rushing to drill, oil companies are cutting their capex, reducing debt and paying more to shareholders.

Carbon capture and sequestration (or CCS) is being touted by some as a potential solution for #decarbonization in industries like cement and steelmaking. But how promising of a solution is it? A deep dive 🧵 There is only limited experience with CCS at industrial facilities beyond gas processing. Only one steel mill in the entire world (and no cement plants), capture CO2. Little info is available about how much they capture, and key info about cost and reliability is missing. Image

Harvard’s decision to #divest its $40 plus billion endowment fund from fossil fuels is a precedent-setting event that warrants the attention of decisionmakers globally. Here’s why. 🧵 With help from @Climate_Defense, @DivestHarvard students did something that hasn’t been done before: filed a complaint with @MassAGO, arguing that Harvard’s investments in fossil fuels runs afoul of the university’s charitable mission. via @emilypont grist.org/climate-energy…

We'll look at that question says @MLiebreich. #IEEFA2021
