Any way you measure it, there is a sharp decline in reporting on climate change. That’s good news for the public, whom the media have misled for decades about the causes and consequences of climate change, haranguing them about their dining, shopping, travel, and voting habits, claiming their use of fossil fuels was killing them, their children, and the planet. This was always false. The post

“Today marks another historic moment for America's nuclear renaissance,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. “From the first-ever airlift of a small reactor aboard a U.S. military C-17 to successful zero-power criticality testing, Valar Atomics is delivering achievements that mark a revolutionary moment for advanced nuclear in this country.
