Make yourself a cup of joe and read the second part of a piece I just published on the Generation Atomic Substack, this is as Puerto Rico’s energy grid comes back online after a recent blackout. I cannot stress enough how people cannot be free unless they have access to energy.
Why the Art World's Silence on Nuclear Energy Matters, Part II
We’ve marched, painted, and screamed truth to power—but on nuclear energy, the art world has mostly gone quiet. That silence isn’t neutral. It’s part of the problem.

Thrilled to see another step forward for clean energy! Serbia has lifted their nuclear moratorium after 35 years. We hope to see other countries do the same.
