Greenpeace deploys boulders to block trawling in sea protected for porpoises
“bottom trawling” – a method of fishing in which gear is dragged across the seabed to scoop up fish that devastates marine life
Kudos to Greenpeace

Nuclear is NOT CLEAN. Kicking the nuclear waste can down the road for future generations to fix is dangerous and solves nothing.
Full speed ahead for renewals.
Hydro pump storage AND home insulation. We use far too much energy now.
NEW: Scottish Greens members have overwhelmingly rejected plans to support new nuclear power in Scotland
The controversial motion would have seen a huge shift in policy & would have left the SNP as the only party opposing new nuclear

Spain avoided US$26bn in gas import costs over 2011–2024 thanks to wind & solar, says the IEA. Savings will have grown since. Pragmatic leadership pays: less money shipped overseas for fuel, more energy produced at home. Cleaner air comes with the deal.

Planned tripling global #RenewableEnergy by 2030 (4 yrs away) means an additional 11,000 GWe.
Planned tripling global #nuclear capacity by 2050 (24 yrs away) means only an additional 1,400 GWe.
Do the maths.
Nuclear is too marginal, too late, too costly for the climate and energy crises.
Renewables will do the heavy-lifting for the energy transition.

Wow. Indrukwekkend 👏
Zulke opkomsten zie je eigenlijk nooit bij andere demonstraties. Dit soort aantallen (n=200.000) is meer dan genoeg om representatief te zijn voor de algemene mening van de Nederlanders.
Laat wel zien hoe het volk denkt over het beleid van Israël. #RodeLijn

Cost of new nuclear EPR reactors in France 72.8 billion euros according to EDF, 680 billion according to Greenpeace.
"It was nearly a year ago that Bernard Fontana, CEO of EDF, unveiled the cost estimate for building six EPR 2 reactors in France: a “maximum” of 72.8 billion euros. That figure has been a subject of constant dispute ever since. The 2027 draft finance bill cites a range between 114 and 161.8 billion euros.
Greenpeace estimates the cost of 'reviving' nuclear power to be between 380 and 650 billion euros.
EDF presents its estimate in “2020 euros”—a technical choice intended to allow for comparison with initial estimates, excluding the effects of inflation."
Go figure ...

Only 13–21% of the energy in a barrel of crude reaches the wheels of a petrol car.
The engine alone loses 56–60% as heat.
An electric car on 🇬🇧 the UK grid gets 43–45% of its primary energy to the wheels.
On wind and solar, it’s 77–80%.
That’s 2–3 times more efficient on today’s grid.
The fleet is still far behind the physics, though.
Share of all cars on the road that are electric, 2010 → 2025:
🇳🇴 Norway: 0.1% → 36%
🇸🇪 Sweden: <0.1% → 16%
🇨🇳 China: <0.1% → 14%
🇺🇸 US: <0.1% → 2%
1 in 4 new cars sold worldwide in 2025 was electric.
The cars already on the road change slowly, because people keep a car for 10–15 years.
China is the number to watch for oil.
14% of the fleet in the world’s biggest crude importer is already eating into petrol demand.
In the US, 98 of every 100 cars still run on fuel.
I think these year disruptions make the adoption faster especially in some regions, but the technology it's not ready yet...

“Russia is starting to attack Britain” what do you mean STARTING?
Brexit was Russia. The rise of Reform is Russia. Widespread far right bot activity is Russia. Male street violence is Russia. European election interference is Russia. Widespread division and chaos is Russia.

The good news is that last year, #renewables supplied 85.6% of all new global power generation capacity. Solar capacity grew by 510GW and wind by 159GW, against just 1.5GW for new #nuclear. That’s a 462:1 ratio.
Put aside capacity, for actual annual #electricity generation output, this means last year, new wind and solar supplied 104 times more usable power than new nuclear.
In the US, 2026, between 93-99% of new utility-scale electricity generating capacity will come from #solar, #wind, and #battery storage - a combined build-out equivalent to constructing 70 new nuclear power plants in just one year, using tech that needs no uranium fuel cycle, no spent fuel storage, and no decades-long construction timeline.
Go figure. Do the maths.

Climate deniers cite increasing numbers of polar bears around Churchill to show the species is healthy and unaffected, But they have come to the town because declining sea ice forces them to do so. In fact numbers have halved in the region since 1979.
