“In zijn vorig jaar gepubliceerde memoires beschreef Fauci hoe de president hem destijds de huid vol schold.”

“Mensen maken op grond van een politieke ideologie keuzes die schadelijk zijn voor henzelf en hun omgeving”

NRC · Arts Anthony Fauci: ‘Ik redde miljoenen levens en word toch als vijand gezien’By Emilie van Outeren

NRC arikel over overstap van WhatsApp naar Signal:"veelal hoogopgeleiden en 45-plussers. Weinig jongeren, dus" 😕

Eerst zijn er heel veel scholen die kinderen dwingen om WhatsApp te gaan gebruiken opstraffe van uitsluiting in de klasse-app, en het daarna gek vinden dat jongeren zo weinig kritisch zijn op WhatsApp. 🤔

Je krijgt wat je onderwijst. Stop met normaliseren van dataroof diensten in het onderwijs!

NRCWeg van WhatsApp: waarom mensen overstappen naar SignalBerichtendiensten: Signal is met een opmars bezig. Ongemak over WhatsApp speelt daarbij een grote rol, vertellen gebruikers. „Ik maak me zorgen over veiligheid en privacy.”

Zeer sterk stuk van @TheRightsForum over lach- en huilwekkend NRC artikel.

[De protesten] "zijn er niet om #Israël uit te zonderen, maar juist om aan die uitzondering een einde te maken – en daarmee aan de decennialange rechteloosheid van de #Palestijnen. Het zijn namelijk de Palestijnen die écht worden uitgezonderd. Is dat nieuws? Nee, iedereen hoort het te weten, ook #NRC en andere media. Waar het aan ontbreekt is de lef om het op te schrijven."

A tale of two #NuclearPowerPlants along #LakeMichigan: Extended life and a revival?

WUWM 89.7 FM | By Chuck Quirmbach
Published January 10, 2025

"This year could be a big year for the status of two nuclear power plants around Lake Michigan.

"That includes a shutdown plant just 120 miles east of Kenosha that is seeking a first-of-its-kind restart.

"The year could also be significant for extending the life of #Wisconsin's only working commercial plant, located 95 miles north of #Milwaukee.

"On the west shore of Lake Michigan, #NextEraEnergy says it still wants a 20-year extension for the two reactors at the #PointBeachNuclearPowerPlant, located north of #TwoRivers, which would keep the site operating until the early 2050s.

"If that plan sounds familiar, it’s because #WUWM has been reporting on the proposal for about four years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (#NRC) approval is still pending.

"In a written statement this month, Florida-based #NextEra said it has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Point Beach, 'ensuring it’s ready to produce energy for decades to come.' The company says the plant powers nearly 1 million homes and businesses and provides about 14% of Wisconsin’s electricity.

"But nuclear power critics, like #KevinKamps of #BeyondNuclear, say there are concerns that key parts of the power production units are too #brittle to last another 20-plus years. He says there’s an alternative.

"'Point Beach’s electricity could easily be replaced through the expansion of #RenewableEnergy in Wisconsin. It’s ready to go. It would be more effective for the people of Wisconsin. It would certainly be much safer,' Kamps says.

"On the east shore of the lake, the #PalisadesNuclearPlant in #CovertTownship, Michigan, shut down nearly three years ago. But at the urging of some federal, state, and local officials, the Biden administration has provided a $1.5 billion loan to Holtec International, which bought the mothballed plant from the utility Entergy, so Holtec can try to restart Palisades.

[...]

"A key concern appears to be the damaged steam generator tubes at Palisades, which are likely to need repair or replacement. On Jan. 14, Holtec and the NRC are scheduled to discuss the matter.

"The NRC says Holtec will have to prove the plant is safe.

"Incoming President Donald Trump has made conflicting statements about nuclear power, so it’s unclear if he will try to get the NRC to favor either of the Lake Michigan plants."
