Rolls-Royce Gets Green Light for Nuclear: Axe's Take on Britain's Power Play

Nuclear is Back Baby!

Alright listen up. The UK is going nuclear and not in the 'end of the world' kind of way. We're talking about Rolls Royce getting the nod to build small modular reactors. SMRs they call 'em. Think of it as taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut but instead of a nut it's the global energy crisis. 'What is the point of being rich if you can't use it to be reckless?' I ask you. These Brits are finally showing some Axe like ambition.

Sizewell C? More Like Sizewell 'See Ya Later' to Fossil Fuels

Nineteen point two billion dollars into Sizewell C? That's real money. Money talks bullshit walks right? But it ain't just about the cash. It's about energy independence sticking it to the petro states and keeping the lights on when the wind ain't blowing. This is 'the long game,' people. And remember 'The best revenge is massive success.'

Ed Miliband's Nuclear Renaissance: A Golden Age or Fool's Gold?

Miliband's talking about a 'golden age of nuclear.' Sounds like something out of a fairy tale. But if those SMRs can power three million homes by the mid 2030s maybe there's something to it. Three thousand jobs they say. It's all about 'performance,' right? 'Loyalty? It's a commodity.' So let's see if they deliver. And I'll be there to scalp them if they don't

Rolls Royce Soars: But Can They Stick the Landing?

Rolls Royce stock up over 2%? That's a decent pop. CEO Erginbilgic is feeling himself talking about 'strategic choices' and 'unique nuclear capabilities.' But the market giveth and the market taketh away. 'Money isn't the goal it's the score. You got to keep score' These guys better not get cocky; this deal is far from done.

Amazon and Google: The Tech Titans' Nuclear Embrace

Amazon and Google are getting in on the SMR game in the US. Makes sense. All those data centers need power and they need it clean. These tech giants understand that 'a rational person always overestimates his own abilities.' But nuclear is a different beast than coding algorithms. Let's see if they can handle the heat. Don't get high on your own supply.

The Green Grinches: Is Nuclear a Dirty Word?

Of course the tree huggers are screaming about 'expensive and harmful distractions.' But let's get real. We can't power the world with solar panels and windmills alone. Nuclear ain't perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than burning coal. 'It's only work if you'd rather be doing something else' It would be nice if nuclear could make both sides happy for once but I won't hold my breath.
