France eyes an energy shift of its own France is looking to undo decades of nuclear power growth and instead boost energy sources like wind, solar, and small hydro projects. To shift from 75 to 50% nuclear, as many as 20 of France’s 58 reactors would have to be closed. That would leave Ontario as the most nuclear reliant jurisdiction on the planet.

Yet more fusion fantasy Nuclear fusion is the stuff of science fiction. Doesn't Lockheed Martin know we're in a race against time with climate change? It's planning to waste years of research, resources and money that must instead be devoted to clean, affordable and sustainable energy sources like wind and solar whose large scale deployment already underway today needs to move to an even greater scale if rapid carbon reductions are to be achieved.

Besides being cost-competitive and rapidly scalable, micropower releases little or no carbon yet enables individuals, communities, building owners, and factory operators to generate electricity, displacing dependence on centralized, inefficient, dirty generators. This democratizes energy choices, promotes competition, and speeds learning and innovation.
