Solar farm by M1 Watford Gap services approved
Plans to install more than 15,000 solar panels on farmland near the M1 Watford Gap services have been will be put on an 18-acre (7.3 hectare) field close to the service station, the A5 and existing Northamptonshire Council received no objections to the Walker, from developer PS Renewables, told the authority's planning committee it was "a relatively small solar farm comprising a single field". The meeting of the council's strategic planning committee on Tuesday heard the panels would have little visual impact due to warehousing and wind turbines in the backdrop, the Local Democracy Reporting Service built, the site could generate up to 6mw of renewable electricity, which the applicants advised would be enough to power 2,100 Walker told the committee: "The solar farm will contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in line with legal requirements - and will importantly be electricity generated in the UK for use in the UK."He added the site was not previously used for growing crops but instead held livestock, which would continue once the solar farm was operational in the form of sheep committee members voted unanimously to approve the project.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) on Substack by Charly AI. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on NNE. NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE)'s share was trading at $26.07 as of May 15th. An aerial view of a nuclear plant, its domes casting a unique shadow. NNE is an ambitious vertically integrated developer in the advanced nuclear sector, aiming to become a full-stack provider of micronuclear solutions. The company is building a differentiated platform by combining microreactor design and manufacturing with in-house nuclear fuel processing, logistics, and regulatory consulting. Its four proprietary microreactor models—Zeus, Odin, Kronos mmr, and Loki mmr—target specialized applications, from mobile military use to stationary industrial power and even extraterrestrial deployment. This vertical integration across the nuclear value chain establishes a significant competitive moat and positions NNE as a category leader in the emerging microreactor space. The company is led by CEO James Walker, formerly of Rolls Royce's nuclear division, and supported by a top-tier team of physicists and executives from leading academic and government institutions, including Oak Ridge and the NRC. NNE operates at the intersection of key secular trends: rising AI-driven power consumption, increasing emphasis on U.S. energy independence, and global decarbonization efforts. With tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon investing in small modular reactors for datacenter use, and U.S. government support through programs like the DOE's $3.4 billion LEU Acquisition initiative, the market tailwinds are substantial. NNE also holds a strategic advantage through its partnership with LIS Technologies, the only U.S.-based laser uranium enrichment firm. Despite these advantages, the company remains pre-revenue, reporting a $3.1 million loss last quarter and undergoing nearly 20% share dilution to support ongoing development. While the company has $123 million in cash and minimal debt, execution risk remains high. For investors with a long-term horizon and appetite for risk, NNE offers upside in a potentially transformational market. NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 10 hedge fund portfolios held NNE at the end of the fourth quarter which was 0 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of NNE as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NNE but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

He burned alive on his 10th birthday. The landlord is going to prison.
Before a D.C. Superior Court judge delivered his sentence Friday for two deaths that a jury found he failed to prevent, James Walker read from Psalm 93 — a meditation on the sovereignty of God. The licensed attorney and D.C. landlord apologized for the fire that killed 10-year-old Yafet Solomon and 40-year-old Fitsum Kebede, saying that he was 'very sorry for their deaths' and 'did not mean to cause them harm.'
