Florida Attorney General James Usmierer filed a lawsuit against the US Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRC) accusing them of illegally obstructing the development of advanced nuclear technologies that could reshape the future of US energy production. Uthmeier announced the legal challenge on Tuesday, claiming that the NRC’s outdated regulatory framework is stagnating the progress of innovative technologies such as small scale modular reactors (SMRS).”For decades, Washington has made promises about nuclear energy, and then when real innovation comes, it poses obstacles,” Usmieyer said. “Florida is waiting. We are taking action to maximize the potential of safe nuclear technology, strengthen our energy…

Paul Wiseman and Christopher Rugaber, AP Economics Writers WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made another jarring reversal in America’s trade policy on Wednesday, escalating a trade war with China while halting the 90-day import tax he imposed just 13 hours ago in dozens of countries. The move sparked a strong stock market rally on Wall Street, but has baffled businesses, investors and American trading partners about what the president is trying to achieve. The U-turn comes after a global tariff cleaning that announced last week that Trump launched a four-day route in global financial markets, numbing businesses and raising…

A few of my professional colleagues teased me as they used pens and small notebooks on a recent media tour of the epic universe. For me, it keeps me organized like that quickly, and doesn’t drain the battery. My little notebook slid into my back pocket and was accepted by most vehicles. I’ve seen things. That notebook is these quick, sweaty odds and ending sauces that didn’t fit my first impression story. Normal Disclaimer: The park is still in “technical rehearsals,” so hiccups and mystery may continue. Don’t forget that the official first day of the epic universe is May…

“Someone once told me that Pizza Bruno wasn’t the best restaurant,” Bruno Zaccini tells me. Probably not for the vampire. His pizzeria is well known for its huge garlic knots, as well as the neoneapolis pie that burns in its crafty wood. It wasn’t like Zacchini planned it that way.

Bruno Zaccini estimates that he crank out the Maitland social pizza Bruno oven on a busy night with about 200 garlic knots. It’s some serious foul smell. (Joe…
