Europe's nuclear power is increasingly failing amid rising heat and droughts. France’s nuclear fleet has already seen a record number of heat-related outages this summer. Low river Danube waters forced Romania to shut both its nuclear reactors. Hungary is next. Isn’t it time they switch to wind and solar already? https://news.sky.com/story/hungary-to-shut-down-sole-nuclear-power-plant-as-danube-falls-to-record-low-13569304 #wind #solar #renewables #extremeweather #climate #heatwave #drought

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MAKS23/117033665964285877 more water shortages at nuclear plants. Until they use little to no fresh water for cooling, current plants are not a realistic solution to the fossil fuel transition and building new is ludicrous when renewables, even with battery systems, are orders of magnitude cheaper and less environmentally needy. #endfossilfuels #nuclear #solar #wind #heat #climateChange

🌊 Record heat has shallowed Europe’s rivers, exposing mammoth bones, sunken ships and costing the economy hundreds of millions of euros. In Bulgaria, a mammoth jawbone and tusks have been found on the bare bottom of the Danube, in Croatia, the cargo ship Fulton, which sank in 1937, and in Serbia, a German warship from World War II. The Danube in Budapest has fallen to a record 23 cm, Rhine traffic has fallen by 10%, and Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant is shutting down due to water shortages

You know what doesn’t get shut down when heatwaves and droughts dry up the rivers? Wind and solar. Climate change is exposing a weakness in nuclear power. Lack of water in the Danube has closed two reactors in Romania and one in Hungary. Similar problems have shut three in France. At least eight others in Europe are having to operate on reduced power. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/low-danube-river-levels-force-romania-shut-down-both-its-nuclear-power-reactors-2026-07-29/ #nuclear #solar #wind #energy

Untitled, Lee Bontecou repetition and energy are cool. I like the beach on a gray day, wind and hooded sweatshirt and cool sand. Stinky knots of seaweed and bits of things washed up. The ocean has an eternal aspect. Over and over and over ✨ #art #grey #ocean #sea #wind #clouds #sun #waves #stink #alive #birds #headphones

I guess the trend showing increased solar and wind power is good… #power #solar #wind #electricity #oil

From Pew Research, “Most electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels. But a growing share comes from wind and solar power. Worldwide, 57% of all electricity generated in 2025 came from burning coal, gas or other fossil fuels, down from 65% in 2000.” #power #solar #wind #electricity #oil

Big investment announcement for a call for proposals by the #BCGovernment here in #NorthCowichan this morning. They have asked for submissions for large scale grid battery storage systems to be implemented on #VancouverIsland . If we build enough #wind & #solar to match a #batteryStorage build out network we could be as bold as Australia for free afternoon power. So much extra work needed by government & public for mass adoption by I'm hopeful. #renewableenergy #sustainability #bcpoli

Cartoon by de Adder As Sir #TrumpVirus spews #tariffs because he feels that Canada, unlike him, can't perfectly control #nature. Some may recall the #Toddler #King singing this song before, attacking the other CA (California), He said *others* are stupid & need to rake the forest floors properly. Like he did w/the reflecting pool. Clearly he is confused & displacing his wish to put tariffs on Californians, & everyone else. #psychopathology, #cognitive #wind #wildfires #incapacity #projection
