Ronald Stein, Oliver Hemmers, Steve Curtis: Why does the world insanely ignore nuclear power?


There is a lot of talk about nuclear power around the world today. However, except for China and, maybe, Russia, there is little action.

Talk means nothing, but action means everything. Perhaps the reason for inaction is the massive waste of government funding for nuclear power promises.

Moreover, to secure monopolies for those who own them, massive government roadblocks are placed in the way of any competition that could disrupt the profits from these monopolies.

Ronald Stein: Africa is pioneering nuclear innovation as it faces a dire electricity crisis


Sub-Saharan Africa faces a dire electricity crisis. Over 600 million people—more than 40% of the continent’s population—lack access to electricity, a figure projected to rise to 657 million by 2030 without intervention.

The global nuclear renaissance is well underway—evidenced by companies like Oklo, which is now included in the Russell 2000 stocks list. The outlook is based on Oklo’s long-term vision, particularly with the Trump administration’s increased focus on AI revolution data center development powered by nuclear-generated electricity.

Ronald Stein: The economic imperative for nuclear power


In an increasingly electricity-hungry world, nuclear power stands out as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, particularly for developing economies like South Africa. This article examines the economic rationale behind the adoption of nuclear power for electricity, with a focus on the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies as catalysts for industrial and economic growth, providing a lifeline out of poverty and instability.
