„U.S. President Donald Trump met Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer on Thursday and discussed nuclear talks with Iran & Israel's war in Gaza, Axios reported, citing two sources briefed on the meeting.
The meeting was held at the White House & was not made public by the U.S. or Israel, according to Axios. (…)

Four days ago: #Spain Signals Openness to Keeping #NuclearPowerPlants Open
By Daniel Basteiro and Thomas Gualtieri
April 24, 2025
"Spain is signaling for the first time that it’s open to reconsidering the shutdown of #NuclearPlants over the next decade amid a global revival of #AtomicEnergy.
While that’s not the plan agreed with nuclear plant operators, and it would be up to them to present concrete proposals, extensions are not ruled out, Environmental Transition Minister Sara Aagesen said in an interview.
" 'Nuclear energy will be present in our mix at least until 2035' but could go beyond that if companies propose extensions, which hasn’t happened yet, she said prior to an International Energy Agency summit on the future of energy security. 'We’re not considering anything because there is no specific proposal on the table.' "
Today [April 28th] "Spain's nuclear power plants automatically stopped, but diesel generators were activated to keep them in 'safe condition', officials said."

„This … reflects a strategic recalibration that appears driven less by long-term planning than by an improvised response to perceived Iranian threats, instability in the Red Sea, and domestic political pressure to “do something” without committing to a full-scale conflict.“

"Humanity’s population shrinks precipitously due to famine, conflict, and radiation-related illness. What was roughly 8 billion people in 2020 falls by at least hundreds of millions (edit: more likely billions) by 2040. Those losses stem not only from immediate disaster casualties but also from secondary effects: hunger, lack of medical care, and weakened immune systems in a ravaged environment."

„Japan on Wednesday started the fourth-round of release of nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean.
Despite opposition among local fishermen, residents as well as backlash from the international community, Tokyo Electric Power Company (#TEPCO), the plant's operator, started discharging the radioactive wastewater at around 11:30 a.m. local time.“

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

„Grappling with Nuclear Dangers at 90 Seconds to Midnight“
https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/02/06/grappling-with-nuclear-dangers-at-90-seconds-to-midnight/
Inventor, artist, philosopher, #WalterRussell -- along with his wife #LaoRussell -- were also #Antinuclear activists. They came up with a device that could generate energy, and of course the #USGovernment confiscated it -- and that was the end of that!
Russell Optic Dynamo-Generator
"This new power and light generator employs a multiplication principle of nature which has not yet entered within the realm of human consciousness... It is the principle of growth in nature which multiplies one kernel of corn into thousands... or multiplies the cold of space into hot stars and novas of incredibly high temperature... Power multiplication is the most conspicuous characteristic of nature. It is amazing to me that it has never yet been discovered."
(Walter Russell’s memo from 1961)
via Philosophy.org
"In the fall of 1959, General Chapman, Colonel Fry, Major Sargent, Major Cripe, and others from NORAD in Colorado Springs, attended a meeting at Swannanoa, Virginia (University of Science and Philosophy) at the invitation of #WalterRussell. At this meeting Russell explained the workings of a device he proposed to build to take advantage of the vacuum state energy, and the two directional movement of energy from gravitation, (generation), to radiation, (degeneration). During the following year Russell, his wife, #LaoRussell, and their assistants built the device. The prototype that was built consisted of two sets of dual and magnetically-sexed coils. On September 10, 1961, Walter and Lao Russell reported to their contacts at NORAD, that the coils had worked and that the President of the United States could announce to the world that a 'greater, safer power than #AtomicEnergy' could be provided for industry and transportation. After giving the device over to the U.S. Government, Dr. Russell refolded a year and a half later on May 19, 1963. The #RussellOpticDynamoGenerator was never released to the public."

So, with all that's being revealed about what #ExxonKnew in the 1950's, I thought it might be relevant to post what #WalterRussell, artist, visionary and scientist in the 1950's posted about #AtomicEnergy and #ClimateChange...
LOSS OF OXYGEN GLOBALLY
"Walter Russell, a visionary artist and scientist, predicted in his book Atomic Suicide? published in 1957 that due to man-made radioactivity we would experience a loss of oxygen in the air that we breathe. In a similar way to the predictions of Andrei Sakharov in the 1950's, Walter Russell's foresight is now coming true. Our current oxygen resources are low. The percentage of oxygen in the air is down to about 19 percent. (BioTech News 1997) The expected amount is 21 percent oxygen. Some experts say that we may have originally evolved in an atmosphere of 38 percent oxygen. But now, due to the loss of forests and ocean plankton, our two sources of oxygen production, measurements of oxygen as low as 12 percent and 15 percent have been made in heavily industrialized areas. This oxygen-depleted condition is a contributing cause of the generalized lack of well-being that many are experiencing. And it does not look good for the future. We need oxygen to live!
"Trees and green plants provide about half, and plankton provide the other half of our oxygen. Phytoplankton, which are the base of the marine food chain, is declining. Various studies confirm this: plankton in parts of the Antarctic Ocean is declining up to 12 percent. (S. Weiler. Testimony to Senate Commerce Committee, November 15, 1991)
Trees absorb radioactive carbon-14 in place of stable forms of carbon and in this way they are gradually killed. The book, The Petkau Effect, by Ralph Graeub tells how radioactivity has harmed trees and forests: "It is assumed that the decisive physiological damage resulting in current forest death must have begun during the 1950's. This is depicted in a reduction in density and width of tree rings, and in reduced growth, which is true in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Himalayas.... Neither aging, location, nor climate can be considered as the possible sole cause of damage.... The growth ring of a tree shows exactly what effects the tree has experienced, both in terms of time and seriousness.... During the 1950's and 1960's, there must have been a global wave of air pollution which caused the initial damage."
"The author speculates that it could not be just the usual chemicals which are so damaging the trees. And he explains that these trees are mainly within the 30th to 60th parallels of northern latitude.
"This zone contains the most nuclear power plants -- over 300 -- and almost all nuclear reprocessing centers. Also, the vast majority of nuclear weapons tests occurred in this area."

There is an ongoing push from the (neo)liberal right in Switzerland for new #nuclearpower plants.
Now here's a funny thing: no privately owned power producer wants to invest. Why not? Not because they are ill-informed ideologists.
Nope: #atomicenergy is way too expensive to be competitive on the market.
Ripping down a NPP is crazy expensive.
Insuring a NPP for an accident can not be paid for.
NPPs are objects of national #prestige and #vanity, but they do not operate profitably.
