On this day 30 years ago (May 5, 1995), both units at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant tripped after an electrical fault in the 345kV switchyard.
The unexpected culprit? A charred Great Blue Heron found at the scene.

Germany 🇩🇪 could restart nuclear energy production—if the political will is there.
By 2025: Brokdorf (1.4 GW) could be operational if decommissioning stops immediately & staffing efforts begin.
By 2028: Emsland (1.3 GW) & Grohnde (1.4 GW) could follow with refurbishment & workforce training.

Historic progress in the UK! 🏗️
Britain installed the first nuclear reactor at Hinkley Point C, the first of its kind in 30+ years.
This project will power ~6M homes and play a key role in achieving net-zero goals. 🌍⚡

Meta is exploring 1-4 GW of new nuclear capacity by the early 2030s to power its AI data centers, as demand is expected to triple by 2030!
Nuclear is proving essential for reliable, carbon-free energy in the tech revolution.
Another day, another big tech going nuclear... Let's go!

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! 🦃 If you had the chance to bring up nuclear energy at the table, cheers to spreading the word about this clean energy solution!
My two best friends from college visited, & we couldn’t stop talking about the many memories we’ve made so far.
