Tucker explains how Einstein's equation applied to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro. His lecture was a revelation. It showed that the limits of renewable energy have nothing to do with politics or research dollars, but rather with simple mathematics. During a later exchange of emails with Tucker, I praised his lecture and suggested he write an article that explained E = mc2 and its corollary, E = mv2

Germany’s general elections later this month have reignited a debate over the future of nuclear energy in the country. The frontrunner, Chancellor Angela Merkel, wants to review a law that requires shutting down all nuclear power plants by around 2021, but the plan has been undermined by political opposition, recent nuclear accidents, and allegations that during the 1980s, her party improperly maneuvered to have a nuclear waste storage facility approved.
