From the singer, (Eric G. Meyer): "I first visited Slovakia's Mochovce Nuclear Plant in 2023, and due to some scheduling mishaps, I narrowly missed my opportunity to sing in this cooling tower. I'm so glad I did, because this time, two years later, I was joined by legendary science youtuber @kylehill , and I had something special cooked up!
In Richard Wagner's 1845 opera Tannhauser, the character Wolfram sings "O du, mein holder Abendstern" to the evening star, asking it to guide lost souls through darkness to redemption.
Today, we need nuclear's blue glow to guide humanity through "darkness" (e.g. lack of decent electricity access or polluting energy!), and toward that clean and abundant energy future that nuclear can provide.
It's one of opera's most beautiful arias, written by one of Germany's most German Germans, so of course I had to make it into a pro-nuclear anthem about restarting the closed German nuclear plants! The feasibility of restarting is well documented here: radiantenergygroup.com/reports/restarting-germanys-reactors-feasibility-and-schedule
Back to the cooling tower. The acoustics were mindblowing. I haven't added any artificial reverb in this recording, just a bit of EQ and mixing with the orchestration. I hope I have an opportunity to sing in another cooling tower, perhaps with a choir and some instruments!
I have to say a huge thank you to all the people who helped me achieve this long-time dream of mine in such a special way, shout out to @elektrarne in particular.
Hope you enjoy this, share it with a friend or family member, and support the pro-nuclear movement with whatever talents you have!"
