Migration reversal: Why more Americans are now moving to Ireland The number of Americans moving to Ireland last year was higher than the number of Irish people migrating to the US. Was this just a blip or the start of a more profound trend?

I don’t know if this is news in the US, but it has the Irish freaked out.

Is nuclear power darling Oklo a good investment?
Is nuclear power darling Oklo a good investment? YouTube video by Decarbonize!

My latest Decarbonize video is on one of the few next generation nuclear companies that's publically traded, Oklo. They're working on a small modular reactor that's cooled by liquid sodium and is of the fast-neutron variety.

But is the company worth $10 Billion?

My Decarbonize video on powering data centers is my best performing video by far. So far over 22 thousand people have watched it with a 96% "like" ratio.

What is the Cheapest Electricity: business as usual or going all in on renewables? YouTube video by Decarbonize!

I've fallen behind in posting my videos here. If you want to see them right away, be sure to subscribe at YouTube.

This one is in response to a common comment I've seen that renewables cost estimates don't include all of the system costs. Well, this study does.

There are better changes than that. Look at how the Irish elect the Dail, with rank choice voting and proportional representation.

Will Trump’s reforms of nuclear energy lead to a wave of innovation or a nuclear disaster? YouTube video by Decarbonize!

My latest video is on the Trump administration's gutting of nuclear regulations and a company that's taking advantage of being able to build a reactor without actually proving it's safe.

I've been hearing about V2G for over a decade when it was being pursued by a small company in the Seattle area. I've never been bullish since I figure that stationairy batteries that are cheaper and don't need to be light will be preferred.

My latest Decarbonize! video is out. It's an interview with Tom Gurski, founder of Bluedot Motorworks, and should be of interest to anyone who has an idea and is willing to put in the sweat to make it real.

We can drastically cut aviation's climate impact. Re-routing 5% of flights avoids up to 80% of contrail warming.

For anyone looking for an easy way to fight climate change, I have a one-minute action: Write an email to the International Air Transport Association at corpcomms@iata.org and ask them to include contrail management in their Environmental Assessment program.

We’ve traveled to England to see a performance of “The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff”.

It’s a powerful true story of a real life Antifa warrior. He fought Nazis in London, Spain, North Africa and Italy.

How to you calculate the contribution of pumped storage? It should be zero averaged over the day.

I wish this was true for Dublin, but it isn’t.

Still, we have better transit than any city its size in the US.
