Kilowatts or connections? Trump’s favored nuclear start-ups soar to riches.

Sun., Nov. 30, 2025

By Evan Halper, Washington Post via the Spokesman Review . . .

The fledgling Texas company Fermi America has yet to produce an electron, split an atom or survive the torturous gantlet of regulatory and manufacturing obstacles required to build a nuclear reactor.

But investors are betting big that the Trump administration will help Fermi turn from a glossy, aspirational marketing brochure into a cutting-edge nuclear operation to meet the rapacious energy needs of AI data centers. So much so that they catapulted its founders into the ranks of the world’s richest men a few months after Fermi filed paperwork with regulators to build the “Donald J. Trump Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus.”

Typically, a company’s revenue, track record and market advantage drive valuations. But in the age of President Donald Trump’s promised nuclear revival, shareholders and backers see connections to the White House as the road to profitability, investment analysts and longtime industry insiders say.

Kilowatts or connections? Trump’s favored nuclear start-ups soar to riches.

LLAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

I am beginning to wonder if the rebirth “All Things Nuclear” is a need for energy or if it’s a political government/investment brokerage scam for little more than financial wealth. I wrote a scathing suspicion of that game without the political or even a White House gone brokerage firm instead of attending to the needs of a divided world gone critically divided and on the precipice of a WWIII — ending existential life on plane Earth.

Following is a re-run of my case against investing in “Anything Nuclear”” from LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD #1,110, Tuesday, , (11/18/2025):

Nuclear Power investments in the “get rich quick” expanding nuclear power craze has come to a screeching halt as thoughtless investors, both individuals and their corporations, have suddenly seen the light bulbs go off just above their heads, realizing that Return on Investment (ROI) or any “profits” from their investments will be many years in the making and, and in most cases, may never happen. Even if there happened to be a small profit at some point somewhere, the money invested after inflation would go to your aging children and grandchildren in 25 to 50 years, or even longer, if ever.

The nuclear industry, of course, has long been aware of its current and future costs, and the long term amortization of those costs of new nuclear power plants and operational facilities along with mechanical and other perilous issues of construction of old facilities that have already passed their “mothball” dates, plus the hazards of reactor cracks and other repairs, along with rising health and safety regulations of both new SMR (Small Nuclear Reactor) and full-blown multi-reactor plants controlled by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC).

And then there is the problem as victims of war or weapons of war, whichever way you look at them as “sitting duck” nuclear power plants ready to victimize life of all kinds with clouds of drifting radiation, which are even now stationary weapons — think present day Russia/Ukraine war — or of future nuclear wars or even accidents— both offensively and defensively — could never make them a reliable investment for any rational reason.

These immense costs will not be going away any time soon despite what Trump ignorantly pursues, demanding relaxation of these selfsame health and safety issues both of operations regulations and the mandatory protection of the innocent public are also huge threats to both old and new nuclear power plants and their ultimate costs.

Plain and simple, nuclear power will never be a good investment nor will it be an efficient and cheap provider of electricity, which the advertised Nuclear Industry propaganda claims it will be . . . Otherwise wise men and their investing corporations and ill-educated private investors will never see any such profitable return on their investments other than those who already work in the industry . . . ~llaw

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi

On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.

More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

LLAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

The attacks by Israel and the USA in June of this year against Iran’s nuclear facilities may have been the most regretful strategic military move that the United States has ever made, yes, it was Trump who authorized the “war” — childishly nicknamed “Operation Midnight Hammer”. The entire objective was not only uncalled for but also illegal, and all it did was awaken and energize an angry nest of Iranian hornets. And they obviously won’t go away.

We cannot continue to have such a leader, who, in a self=aggrandizing way, constantly acts before he thinks (if he can think at all) — exactly like he has done with his blunder, among others, to restart nuclear weapons testing without realizing or admitting that he was “dead wrong”, creating a new “Cold War” that could easily lead-up to nuclear war among Russia, China, and the other seven nuclear weapons’ countries, including Iran..

And so it is that the “nuclear world” in order for humanity to survive cannot continue to tolerate Trump. He must be removed immediately from having “sole-source” access to the “nuclear football” so that the “nuclear hornets’ nest” can be avoided. Otherwise, who knows how long it will take to have written our own collective obituary. ~llaw

LLAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

I simply cannot understand how or why humanity hates humanity so much! So it is, that now at least one country is moving nuclear weapons of mass destruction into orbital space — so their nuclear weapons can be controlled without missiles, airplanes, and warhead mounted trucks — providing a way for nuclear warheads to be quickly and somewhat more inexpensively compared to ground or air carriers electronically accurately released, allowing orbiting bombs to be dropped from space on enemies with precise location at any time without warning unless similar space or ground weapons of defense are also orbiting or electronic ground facilities in an AI sensory game of tag or of ground-based stations capable of interception with sensory tracking . . .

It seems to me to simply add to the “nuclear deterrence” issue with more unaffordable costs of never-ending “cat and mouse” that the military-world seems to love so much. And also defense relies on Artificial Intelligence to do all the technical and dirty work for us, which is not a good thing for humanity in the future — if any of us are still alive after WWIII.

A peaceful world full of humanitarian sensibility, common understanding, consideration of others even if they’re different than we are, and global friendship, with a sense of unity seems like the best way for us to survive or avoid creating our own “armageddon”. ~llaw

Trump/Putin Possible Conspiracy on Peace Agreement for Ukraine.

Putin signals Trump’s Ukraine peace plan could be ‘basis’ for future deal

by Ryan Mancini – 11/27/25 1:03 PM ET

Could it be that Trump asked Putin to tell him what he wanted to see in a Peace Agreement from Putin/Russia for Ukraine, so Putin sent his wishes to Trump. So Trump had them translated to English and sent the document back to Putin as if were Trump’s own ideas and issues. In other words Trump had no participation in negotiating the Peace Agreement, but rewrote as his own “Peace Agreement” for Putin to consider, so that Trump could claim he is/was a successful middle-man and advisor to Putin — all with Putin’s knowledge and approval, planning to force Zelenskyy to agree to the “new” agreement . . . In other words Trump brokered nothing . . .~llaw

Following are the links to news articles, etc. and a copy of Putin’s delight with “Trump’s ideas and thoughts”.

https://instaread.co/player?article=putin-signals-trumps-ukraine-peace-plan-could-be-basis-for-future-deal&publication=thehill&article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fpolicy%2Finternational%2F5624953-putin-trump-ukraine-peace-deal&version=1764289800000

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the Trump administration’s proposed peace plan to bring an end to the war in Ukraine could be the “basis” for a future deal — signaling openness to negotiate.

Putin added that while there are things that need to be discussed when the U.S. delegation meets in Moscow early next week, it did take his position into account, according to NBC News.

“In general, we agree that this could be the basis for future agreements,” The Russian president told reporters during a visit to Kyrgyzstan, Reuters reported.

The initial plan, which called for Ukraine to give parts of the Donbas region to Russia and slash its military capacity, was previously panned as being too favorable to Russia. Following talks with U.S. delegates in Geneva on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he agreed to “core terms” of the plan.

A new proposal was delivered to Putin after those talks were held, the Kremlin leader said Thursday. He added that Russia is “absolutely ready for a serious discussion.”

“They decided among themselves that all 28 points should be divided into four separate components,” Putin said. “In general, we agree that this can be the basis for future agreements.”

Still, the Russian leader argued that his troops will continue operations in Ukraine until the two nations agree on the terms of a ceasefire deal.

“Ukrainian forces will have to leave the territories they currently occupy, and then the fighting will stop,” The Moscow Times reported Putin saying. “If they don’t, we will achieve this by military means.”

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is expected to travel to Russia next week, came under fire earlier this week after an earlier phone call with a Russian aide was leaked. Witkoff reportedly called Yuri Ushakov on Oct. 14 to urge him to encourage Putin to congratulate President Trump for brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, according to Bloomberg, which reviewed a recording of the correspondence.

Trump defended the call on Tuesday as “a standard thing.”

“He’s got to sell this to Ukraine, he’s got to sell Ukraine to Russia,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “That’s what a dealmaker does.”

“I haven’t heard it, but I heard it was standard negotiation,” he continued. “And I would imagine he’s saying the same thing to Ukraine, because each party has to give and take.” 

Lawmakers in Washington also criticized Witkoff’s call, with Rep. Don Bacon (R-Ned.) accusing Witkoff of giving full “favors to the Russians.”

“He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations,” Bacon wrote on the social platform X. “Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.”

The deal would also require the Kremlin to provide $100 billion in assistance to Ukraine for redevelopment after the war while halting Kyiv’s plans to join NATO.

Trump called the proposal a “fine-tuned” measure agreeable to both parties and suggested he could meet with Zelensky and Putin once a deal is finalized.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is expected to travel to Russia next week, came under fire earlier this week after an earlier phone call with a Russian aide was leaked. Witkoff reportedly called Yuri Ushakov on Oct. 14 to urge him to encourage Putin to congratulate President Trump for brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, according to Bloomberg, which reviewed a recording of the correspondence.

Trump defended the call on Tuesday as “a standard thing.”

“He’s got to sell this to Ukraine, he’s got to sell Ukraine to Russia,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “That’s what a dealmaker does.”

“I haven’t heard it, but I heard it was standard negotiation,” he continued. “And I would imagine he’s saying the same thing to Ukraine, because each party has to give and take.” 

Lawmakers in Washington also criticized Witkoff’s call, with Rep. Don Bacon (R-Ned.) accusing Witkoff of giving full “favors to the Russians.”

“He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations,” Bacon wrote on the social platform X. “Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.”

The deal would also require the Kremlin to provide $100 billion in assistance to Ukraine for redevelopment after the war while halting Kyiv’s plans to join NATO.

Trump called the proposal a “fine-tuned” measure agreeable to both parties and suggested he could meet with Zelensky and Putin once a deal is finalized.

Why advances in conventional weapons tech should worry China, Russia and US

Washington, Beijing and Moscow must realise that rapid expansion of precision non-nuclear strike capabilities does not deter war, but instead invites miscalculation

Opinion | Why advances in conventional weapons tech should worry China, Russia and US

South China Morning Post

Such risks and consequences are disastrously underestimated. Nuclear powers have long sought the ability to fight and win a nuclear war.

LLAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

A timely article from the “South China Morning Post“ that has prompted me to further support my claim that “nuclear deterrence” is not the answer to avoiding nuclear war even given the “light” of advances in non-nuclear weapons, which to my mind are certainly no more than preliminaries to inviting all-out nuclear war. . .

The issue presented in the article is well thought out and provides a bit of an additional deterrence style threat spinoff from my own reasoning, but certainly doesn’t contradict my views. To me, these new systems are little more than a justifiable excuse to turn conventional war into nuclear war. And, if more than a paper tiger, why has Trump ordered nuclear weapons testing for the 1st time in 30+ years.|

So I have added a link to the article in the “image” section above that provides the short but thoughtfully written article that describes why such advances in military hardware are perhaps just as dangerous, if not moreso, than the normal “deterrence” concept. . . ~llaw

LLAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

China (checking Russia) and North Korea (checking the US) are continuing threats to Russia and the USA, which to some degree manages a threatening eye built of a shaky but reasonably stable kind of reserved control over the two largest and probably the two most dangerous of all nine of the nuclear world’s fears of nuclear war.

The USA knows that North Korea can attack us with long range nuclear warhead missiles, and Russia knows China’s growing nuclear weapons arsenal and indifferent attitude toward Russian threats seems to put a brake on Russia’ constant games with warnings of nuclear war. And then there is the “deterrence” game between the two largest powers themselves.

This is not the kind of unwritten and unstable peace this fragile world needs to remain a safe habitat for humanity and other life on planet Earth. That is why something beyond humankinds’ nuclear threats, nuclear deterrence, and, yes, nuclear powered electricity must be buried alive to rid ourselves of not only nuclear weapons of mass destruction but also nuclear power plants that will automatically become stationary nuclear weapons with nuclear fallout that rides the prevailing winds that are already recognized and in “play” by the hopefully close to at least an armistice Russia/Ukraine war, which has wrongly been billed as a non-nuclear war. So it is — that to survive “all things nuclear” — we must rid ourselves of “all things nuclear” to avoid creating humanity’s own self-made “armageddon”. ~llaw

Northeast look at PG&E’s Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant at Avila Beach, California.

LAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

As my latest novel progresses, slowly but surely, I would like to let my readers in on “Why I am writing a futuristic novel about the last operating commercial nuclear power plant in California.”

The actual reason boils down to the fact that PG&E has a disastrous record on non-nuclear power plants along with other power and electrical disasters in general and now they are operating a “nuclear” power plant that could cause more lethal mistakes than the ones they’ve already caused in California that several million folks who live downwind of “El Diablo Canyon”, and who have no idea of their problematic dramatic history that has, among other disasters, burned down the town of Paradise, California, and blown up a residential area of San Bruno.

The utility company has experienced 7 bankruptcies over its years of mayhem and destruction and are the bad guys in a horrendous, but great March, 2000, movie that some of you may have seen titled “Erin Brockovich” with Julia Roberts, that was just the beginning of their disastrous environmental damages.

I have to keep asking myself now that the company has an extended operational future and financial gifts or “loans” from both governments of California — $1.4 Billion — and the U.S. — $1.1 Billion — giving me pause to ask, “What disaster comes next?” ~llaw

LAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

Of course the militaries of the nuclear world would naturally believe that “deterrence” is the prevailing preventative medication for avoiding nuclear war, but as I stated in my post from blog #1,111 just last Wednesday, how can it be affordable forever — or even a decade — and when the cost of adding nuclear weapons to nine nuclear arsenals around the world becomes financially prohibitive, what ‘ya gonna do? That’s when WWIII begins — if not tomorrow or the next day for just about any insane reason you can think of . . . and so I am repeating myself from last Wednesday’s Post about “Nuclear Deterrence”:

The following is what I wrote about “deterrence” in last Wednesday’s, blog #l,lll:

It astounds me, oddly and strangely, hat our only existing ability to prevent nuclear war is to rely on something called “nuclear deterrence”, which consists of building a and stockpiling more and more, and more, nuclear warheads as time goes by so that our “despised and untrustworthy neighbor(s)” are inclined not to, or afraid to, attack one another. All it really means is that humanity fails to trust our neighbor(s) even moreso than when there were actual international agreements, pacts, and agreements once honored but now violated, torn up, and demoted to something called “file 13”. It tells me that international leaders of a nuclear-armed country cannot be trusted.

I suspect that the never-ending cost of this ridiculous idea of “deterrence” will one day become too expensive for one of the nuclear-armed countries that it can no longer afford to continue the financial drain of “nuclear deterrence” will of necessity turn “nuclear deterrence” into financial depletion”, meaning, if nothing else starts nuclear war, money will.

A financially distressed world leader may very well decide one day to say, “to hell with deterrence — we can’t afford it anymore”, and bomb their most hated “neighbor”.

That’s all it will take to create our own “armageddon”. ~llaw
