On May 13th it was announced that the "clean" Champlain Hudson Power Express ® (CHPE) was fully operational. "Clean" for the past month if Hydro Quebec's alchemists altered electricity imports from Ontario, generated with natural gas (much of it from the US), into hydro power

anybody wish to discuss this ignorant take from an entitled twit: ledevoir.com/opinion/idees/9…

I wholeheartedly disagree that this is nuts, but note recent CA-QC Auction settled at just $28USD/MWh, so I'll nominate different nuts: QC avoiding CDN carbon pricing in a regional cap-and-trade scheme far from its borders. (imo RGCC also the one Ontario ought to have looked to)

Sweden's Videberg Kraft has selected @RollsRoyce SMR as supplier for its project on the Värö Peninsula near Ringhals, where it plans to site three of the UK-based firm's small modular reactors #nuclear tinyurl.com/yhazx785

Vattenfall wählt Rolls-Royce #SMR als Lieferanten für die neuen Reaktoren, die neben dem Kernkraftwerk Ringhals gebaut werden sollen. Das Projekt zum Bau neuer kleiner modularer Reaktoren auf der Halbinsel Värö südlich von Göteborg wird von der Projektgesellschaft Videberg Kraft vorangetrieben, in der das staatliche Unternehmen Vattenfall und das Industriekonsortium Industrikraft aktive Partner sind. Zu dem Konsortium gehören unter anderem ABB, Alfa Laval, Boliden, SAAB, SSAB und Volvo. Nach einem vierjährigen Verhandlungsprozess mit rund 70 Bewerbern stand die Wahl letztendlich zwischen zwei Unternehmen: dem britischen Rolls-Royce und dem amerikanischen GE Vernova Hitachi. Dass Rolls-Royce den Zuschlag erhalten hat, bedeutet auch, dass Vattenfall Teil eines größeren Programms für neue Kernkraftwerke sein wird und die Reaktoren in Großbritannien und Tschechien gebaut werden. Laut Vattenfalls CEO Anna Borg hat kein einzelner Faktor die Entscheidung beeinflusst, die auf der Grundlage des Gesamtbildes getroffen wurde. Das Ziel ist, dass der erste Reaktor Mitte der 2030er Jahre in Betrieb geht. Es werden drei Reaktoren mit jeweils 470 Megawatt Leistung gebaut. Die Reaktoren werden nicht parallel gebaut.

Pretty dramatic change in Canadian crude oil export patterns per StatCan data

BREAKING: President Trump on social media: “… herewith, [I] authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! …” Trump also declares the “toll free” Strait of Hormuz open.

BREAKING: After 107 days, Pakistan announces that the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace deal, to be formally signed in Switzerland on June 19. “… Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon…”

Proposed 250-megawatt data centre shows up on IESO documents but the host town of Napanee doesn't know about it? More issues with @IESO_Tweets and community engagement? (Also, not a "park", get real) #onpoli Source @OntFarmerNews pressreader.com/canada/ontar…

a leader for the times: 1865ish

if my math is correct this BESS capacity is down to ~$140k/MWyear. tough to tell if this will provide the same actual capacity value as a gas peaker, but on price it is now the clear winner. time to stop funding the planning for pumped hydro?

🇨🇦To Canada, with Love 💕 👉From today's Daily Energy report: afalhajji.substack.com/ 🇨🇦The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion was a smart strategic move for Canada — the Hormuz crisis has now made it a strategic asset for the world.

Not just farmers are objecting. I live in rural Eastern Ontario and one of the proposed routes would take over part of the Trans Canada Trail that is a few hundred meters from my house. No one around her wants ALTO

How Capital Power enunciates, "transition fuel" 😏

Today I'm 44 years old. I've still got my two front teeth, so all I want for my birthday is for you to consider subscribing to my Substack: decouple.media/ I was 36 when I fell down the nuclear energy rabbit hole. Over the past 8 years I've had the privilege of leading the long shot campaign to save the Pickering Nuclear Station and founding @DecoupleMedia which has served as an intellectual force multiplier for the global nuclear advocacy movement. Along the way I've interviewed hundreds of experts, chalked up more than 5 million views and earned a dedicated listenership in some of the highest decision making bodies in industry, government and finance. I am most proud of carving out a free speech platform within an industry with precious little room for internal debate. I've made more than a few mistakes, changed my mind on important issues, and learned far more than I've ever taught. While I'll continue hosting the Decouple podcast, I'm increasingly focusing on developing my ideas in written form on Substack. If you've enjoyed following the journey, cheering on the wins, rolling your eyes at the occasional bad take, or learning something alongside me, I'd be very grateful if you'd join me there. It's been a wild ride so far. I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm looking forward to writing the next chapter with your support. decouple.media/

We looked at all options for my platform years ago. Only High Frequency improved rail worked and it still needed a subsidy

UPDATE 🚨 Per sources, Kristian Jack reports Ismael Kone missed training today with fever, and went back to the CanMNT 🇨🇦 team hotel to rest Availability for Friday remains unconfirmed

The search for dumber HSR than T.O. to Quebec City is on - again. The route in this xeet was one of the dreams used to sell the sale of Hydro One. I mocked it then too: morecoldair.wordpress.com/20…

OPG's Darlington unit 4 was taken offline this morning. 127 days after the gov't issued a news release on the completion of the station's refurbishment, the final unit in that process has operated only 51 days. I'm hoping for a bathtub curve, but OPG's rate application isn't
