đŸ”„ Is the anti-nuclear lobby finally running out of gas?

In her latest piece for eGeneration News, Nancy Carrington showcases a clear shift in the narrative:

Anti-nuclear activists celebrated NuScale’s Utah failure as the beginning of the end—only to ignore TVA’s bold plan for 6 GW of new SMRs.

She exposes how renewable cheerleaders shut their eyes to the resurgence of advanced nuclear designs backed by real market forces.

The takeaway: it’s time energy policy was driven by facts, not fear or ideology.

If you're tired of dogmatic posturing slowing down progress, this article is your reminder that logic and innovation must prevail. Read more and join the push for solutions that actually work:

🚀 The DOE has launched a nuclear pilot-reactor program — but did they pick winners before the race even started?

In his latest op-ed, economist Jon Paul Morrow calls the DOE’s new Pilot Reactor Program “monumental,” yet warns we’re headed down the wrong path.

Yes, it cuts red tape and gives advanced reactor developers a fighting chance outside the national labs.

But... why only pick microreactors and SMRs, ignoring cost-effective Large Modular Reactors (LMRs) that scale better?

Isn’t it time we leveraged state and private capital—not bureaucrats—to fuel America’s next nuclear moonshot?

This is a bold call for transparency, competition, and unleashing innovation. Read more and join the debate:

The DOE’s pilot reactor program is historic — but is it already picking winners and losers in America’s nuclear future? Economist Jon Morrow argues we need competition, not bureaucrats, to drive the next nuclear moonshot.

Ohio's energy laws are overgrown—and it's costing us. ⚡🛑

In “Streamlining Ohio’s Energy Legislation: Key Reforms for Efficiency and Competition,” Jon Paul Morrow cuts through the chaos in the Ohio Revised Code:

He exposes overlapping mandates that penalize innovation and inflate costs.

He calls for a shift to a technology-neutral clean energy standard, ditching one-size-fits-all quotas.

He argues for real competition, resilient microgrids, and a unified, simplified statutory approach.

If you're tired of chokepoint regulations strangling energy progress, this piece is your blue-print for reform.

Molten Salt Heat Storage Batteries. đŸ§‚đŸ”„âšĄ
Say it slowly—it’s the tech everyone should be talking about.

These aren’t your average “battery packs.” They can bank enormous amounts of heat, hold it for hours (even days), and release it exactly when the grid needs it most. In plain English: massive, scalable, affordable energy storage.

The kicker? It’s not theory. The chemistry is simple, the supply chain exists, and the scalability blows past conventional storage limits. This is the kind of quiet revolution that reshapes entire energy markets. 😏

Ohio, the Midwest, America—it’s time to start thinking in terawatts, not buzzwords.

“All-of-the-Above”? Please. 🙄

That’s not an energy strategy—that’s a participation trophy. 🏆 Throw everything on the grid and hope it works? That’s how you get rolling blackouts, sky-high bills, and AI data centers scrambling for power.

The real play? 👉 Best-of-the-Above.
Pick the winners. Ditch the losers.

** Rethinking Radiation Policy in Ohio: The Case for Hormesis**

In Ohio, the default assumption has long been that all radiation—even at the smallest levels—is harmful. But what if our regulatory principles are outdated—and even counterproductive?

In our latest article, we explore the controversial but critically important concept of radiation hormesis—the idea that low doses of ionizing radiation may actually stimulate protective responses in the body instead of causing harm.

Here’s why this matters:

It may reveal a safer, more rational path for nuclear regulation, reducing unnecessary fear and over-regulation around advanced reactors and medical isotope facilities.

It has real policy implications—if substantiated, hormesis could change how rad-based technologies are deployed in communities, potentially lowering compliance costs without compromising safety.

It encourages evidence-based policy over precaution without context, sharpening Ohio’s regulatory edge in energy and health innovation.

✏ Read the full blog post to unpack the science, the debate, and how Ohio could lead with nuance in radiation regulation.

Ohio still regulates radiation as if it’s 1955. The science says otherwise — low doses can be harmless, even beneficial. Clinging to the Linear No-Threshold model is stifling nuclear energy, driving up costs, and holding back medical innovation. It’s time for Ohio to embrace hormesis and lead ...

Oklo’s Vision: Ohio as the Midwest’s Nuclear Fortress

Ohio is on the brink of an energy transformation. With AI data centers, expanding manufacturing, and defense facilities putting unprecedented strain on the grid, traditional infrastructure managed by PJM is struggling to keep pace. But one company sees opportunity—Oklo, Inc..

In a new piece by Miranda Morrow, we explore how Oklo’s small modular reactors (SMRs) could position Ohio as a regional energy fortress. Their build-own-operate model, targeting $5B annual revenue by 2028, offers reliable 24/7 baseload power that can be sold via power purchase agreements—solving both scale and volatility challenges.

Ohio’s lights are about to get a whole lot harder to keep on. AI data centers, heavy industry, and defense sites are pushing demand to the breaking point — and PJM isn’t ready. Oklo says its small modular reactors could make Ohio the Midwest’s energy fortress. Here’s how.

⚡ Ohio’s Energy Market: The Fast Track to Economic Su***de ⚡

By Nancy Carrington ‱ eGeneration News (Aug 14, 2025)

Ohio is perched on the brink of an energy and economic crisis. With AI-driven power demand about to surge, a fragile gas infrastructure, and a grid controlled by distant PJM overlords focused on ideology over engineering, the stage is set for skyrocketing electric bills—possibly rivaling your mortgage.

We can’t afford more empty promises about deregulation, renewables, or markets that don’t work. It’s time to call time on the status quo and reclaim control—before our lights dim and industry shuts down.

Read the full article for more on how Ohio succumbs to a flawed energy regime and what must come next: reclaiming grid control, shoring up reliable power, and putting accountability where it belongs—right here, in Ohio.

Ohio is staring down an energy and economic crisis. AI data centers, weak gas infrastructure, and a grid run by unelected renewable zealots at PJM are about to send your electric bill higher than your mortgage. It’s time to take back control — or watch the lights (and jobs) go out.

Listen up, class—good markets don’t just happen. They need a steering wheel. đŸ› ïž

Adam Smith’s invisible hand might be elegant in theory, but left to its own devices in our reality, it’ll happily steer us straight into the hands of hostile cartels like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, or Russia—those masters of price gouging and geopolitical leverage.

Adam Smith's theory works well if we are all good actors and there is no evil in the world.

Here’s the real deal:

Free markets shine—until they don’t. Without oversight, monopolies and cartels hijack supply, spike prices, and flatten competition. That’s not capitalism. That’s rigged theater.

Strategic subsidies? Not betrayal. They’re the rudder that keeps the ship straight. Propping up domestic producers isn’t necessarily distorting the free market— many times it’s defending it. When cartels rig the game, smart government action is the cure.

In short: Don’t insult your intelligence with purity tests—real free markets in the world marketplace need real direction. Letting the invisible hand go rogue is how you hand your energy future to unfriendly regimes like Russia or China.

Please meet Donald Larson, M.S., MBA — the nuclear-engineering ninja and strategic mastermind powering eGeneration’s mission to reclaim America’s energy future.

Educated and battle‑hardened — Don trained in Nuclear Engineering at Ohio State, cutting his teeth on reactor refueling and systems complexity. Then he served as a U.S. Naval Officer, sharpening his leadership and operational grit.

Entrepreneurial edge — He founded the Gorilla Group, Cleveland’s no-nonsense entrepreneurial incubator for radical thinkers and market disruptors; currently advising at Case Western Reserve and bridging innovation across the Atlantic as President of the British American Chamber of Commerce.
egeneration.org

Strategic systems thinker — Equally at home in boardrooms and policy forums, Larson fuses engineering logic with free-market savvy. He’s challenged orthodoxy on “Capitalist Cleveland” radio and even ran for Congress to push a stronger, smarter vision for Ohio.

In short: Don is the archetype of disciplined innovation and intellectual fearlessness—the kind of leader who doesn’t just talk energy policy, but engineers the future from the ground up. When he’s not building systems, he’s tearing down complacency—often on a motorcycle, chasing roads less traveled.

Ohio’s energy renaissance needs minds like his—visionary, unruly, unapologetically American.

Alright, legislators—put down the talking points and grab a pen. This is the part where you get educated.

The Ohio Nuclear Development Consortium Act isn’t just another bill. It’s the industrial moonshot your grandchildren will ask if you voted for—and if you didn’t, you’d better hope they don’t Google it.

Here’s the deal, stripped of the usual political fluff:

$2 billion from Ohio’s Unclaimed Funds Trust (yes, money just sitting there) goes into a state-backed, for-profit public benefit corporation—the ONDC.

Ohio keeps a minimum 10% ownership stake, so when this takes off (and it will), the state actually earns money instead of writing checks.

There’s a 1:1 private capital match—which means Wall Street can’t just sit on the sidelines and whine. They have to buy in.

Zero taxpayer liability. Let me repeat that for the committee members in the back—zero.

Now, what do we get for this chess move? Glad you asked:

HALEU fuel production—the holy grail for advanced reactors, without which America cedes nuclear leadership to
 well, the countries you don’t want in charge of it.

Modular, fast-spectrum molten salt reactors—the reactors that actually solve the waste problem while producing carbon-free baseload power.

Nuclear waste remediation—turning yesterday’s liability into tomorrow’s power.

Critical isotopes for medical miracles and national defense.

Municipal Solid Waste consumption—yes, the trash in your city can literally become clean power.

Ultra-clean transportation fuels—because EVs aren’t the only game in town.

We’re not talking small potatoes here. That $2 billion state stake? It’s expected to leverage $10 billion+ from the feds and private sector. That’s a 5x multiplier—try getting that from wind subsidies or another “innovation hub” that dies in committee.

And before anyone hyperventilates about touching the Unclaimed Funds Trust—relax. The Act keeps a $200 million cash reserve to pay out claims immediately. No IOUs, no excuses.

Bottom line: this is a generational leap in energy, industry, and economic sovereignty. Ohio either votes yes and leads—or votes no and watches someone else take the crown.

So, lawmakers, the choice is yours: do you want to be remembered as the generation that built Ohio’s nuclear renaissance
 or the one that left it on someone else’s desk?
