Four days ago: #Spain Signals Openness to Keeping #NuclearPowerPlants Open

By Daniel Basteiro and Thomas Gualtieri
April 24, 2025

"Spain is signaling for the first time that it’s open to reconsidering the shutdown of #NuclearPlants over the next decade amid a global revival of #AtomicEnergy.
While that’s not the plan agreed with nuclear plant operators, and it would be up to them to present concrete proposals, extensions are not ruled out, Environmental Transition Minister Sara Aagesen said in an interview.

" 'Nuclear energy will be present in our mix at least until 2035' but could go beyond that if companies propose extensions, which hasn’t happened yet, she said prior to an International Energy Agency summit on the future of energy security. 'We’re not considering anything because there is no specific proposal on the table.' "

Today [April 28th] "Spain's nuclear power plants automatically stopped, but diesel generators were activated to keep them in 'safe condition', officials said."

Morning Glory Pool, Yellowstone 🌈♨️

This geothermal spring gets its colors from heat-loving microbes, thriving in the extreme heat of Yellowstone’s volcanic environment. It’s stunning—but also a lesson in respecting nature. The vent has been partially blocked by human activity, altering its appearance over time.

#Frack to the future? #Geothermal energy pitched as #datacenter savior
An independent research body claims that geothermal power generation could provide an answer to the growing energy requirements of #datacenters.
But there's a catch. It focuses on techniques that employ hydraulic fracturing, or #fracking, to avoid being restricted to areas with naturally available geothermal energy, and depends on operators being prepared to pay a "green premium."
