#TIL of GROWIAN, the world largest wind turbine build in 1983 to proof that wind turbines aren't feasable.

"We require Growian [in the general sense of large wind turbines] as a proof of failure of concept"

"the Growian is a kind of pedagogical tool to convert the anti-nuclear energy crowd to the true faith".

"We know it won't do anything for us. But we do it to demonstrate to the wind energy advocates that it doesn't work."

Nach dem Börsengang im Oktober bewerteten Investoren das Unternehmen mit mehr als 13 Milliarden Dollar [...]
Griffin Perry und andere Führungskräfte des Unternehmens haben [...] Fermi-Aktien im Wert von mehreren zehn Millionen Dollar zu Geld gemacht. [...]"

"niemals Einnahmen"

Ja, aber das "Chef eines der beiden Unternehmen" bezieht sich wahrscheinlich auf die Fossil-Firma Liberty Energy, das von Chris Wright 2011 gegründet wurde und wo er Chef war.

Das Oklo gerade mit denen zusammenarbeitet hat natürlich nochmal n Geschmäckle, und dass der Artikel das aufzeigt ist gut.

Aber dass Chris Wright beim Nuklear-Startup Oklo drin hängt hätte imho erwähnt gehört.

Thank you for the link, this is an interesting read.

Also nice examples how #coal and #nuclear have been partnering up to fuck over consumers.

Just look at all the money US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is funneling towards the nuclear startup #Oklo, where he was head of the board.

In 2023, bankrupt #Westinghouse was bought for 8 billion $ by #Brookfield and #Cameco.

Now, in the midst of a government shutdown, the administration is supposedly promising 80 billion $ of money it doesn't have? And the US government will only get a sliver of future profits - if there are any - under the condition that Westinghouse will pay out at least 17.5 billion $ to Brookfield and Cameco?

"In Finland, the recent deal sets the floor above €90/MWh for 20 years."

Wow, I wasn't aware of this.

#Nuclear power plant company fails to create enough reserves for demolition and waste disposal, cost gets nationalized.

Just your average #NuclearIsAScam story.
