I’m no restaurant industry expert but I could have guessed that $20 unlimited shrimp was going to be A) very popular and B) a money-loser.

Unconfirmed, but the occupants of the Bentley that crashed at the Rainbow Bridge are said to be the owners of Gui’s Lumber/Ace Hardware in the Buffalo, NY area. I’ll update as I work on this. Update: Confirmed.

Det Ch Supt Becs Horsfall, from South Yorkshire Police, said: “We have been carrying out extensive inquiries to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances.

“We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our inquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation.

Oh, well I guess it’s back to coal.

Nuclear power is emission-free but complex, expensive and politically fraught. In recent years, small modular reactors have been touted as the answer to those problems. In the US, NuScale Energy Corp. has been at the vanguard of efforts to build viable SMRs.

So it was a significant blow to the industry last week when NuScale abruptly canceled a deal to construct the Carbon Free Power Project, a 462-megawatt power plant slated for a Utah-based consortium of municipal utilities.

For nuclear advocates, SMRs promise atomic plants that are faster and cheaper to build than large, conventional facilities that are bespoke. NuScale is the only company to win US approval

for an advanced fission reactor design. It was widely expected to deliver the first commercial power plant using next-generation technology.

However, like many other industrial projects, NuScale’s plans were beset by delays and soaring costs. It faced rising prices for steel and other key materials, as well as higher interest rates. The final blow for NuScale came when some members of the Utah group backed away from commitments to purchase power. NuScale wanted contracts for at least 80% of the electricity, but it fell short.
