Highlighted Comments
I appreciate the detailed analysis.
Wonderful news to hear they are working on it.
Time to accept Nuclear power, like it or not.
The shipping industry largely supports this. The US and Trump are just fighting anything 'green' even if industries and economics are against them.
Will it go anywhere with an administration hostile to climate action?
