We need to have a serious conversation. We are losing the battle to address the climate emergency. Decarbonisation is possible, and it requires nuclear energy.

In the 1950s uranium hunting became a popular hobby in the US. 35k Geiger counters were sold by mail order alone, some costing as little as $20. Magazines also printed guides showing how to build one at home.

Dear @Ed_Miliband, all we want for Christmas is clean and affordable electricity.
Gambling on a grid with little baseload power won’t achieve that.

Dear @Ed_Miliband
‘Net Zero’ has somehow come to mean ‘mostly wind and solar power’ – that's a mistake

Dear @Ed_Miliband
At the moment, nuclear is not the heart of Britain's plans for clean power – it needs to be

This is how it’s done, @Bowenchris
Nuclear has a crucial role to play in powering Britain’s clean energy future.
We are determined to drive forward plans for nuclear, to create good jobs and bring investment into our communities.
Great to speak at the @NIAUK conference yesterday.

The decision by @edfenergy to keep four of the UK's nuclear plants online is a strong endorsement of our clean power mission.
These sites power 1.8m homes and support 3,000 jobs in Lancashire, Teeside and East Lothian.
Nuclear is at the heart of our mission for clean power.
Exciting news as we announce our plans to extend generation at Heysham 2 and Torness for an extra 2 years to 2030, while Heysham 1 and Hartlepool will now continue generating until 2027, an extension of 1 year.

Why the Australian labor movement is against a livable planet, well paid, secure and organised jobs, and for cheap energy bills, is frankly beyond me.
Australia is one of the sunniest and windiest countries on Earth, but Peter Dutton would rather play a game of nuclear roulette in our backyard than support renewables.
