Europe's "cheap" solar panels were made possible by using the forced labor of 1 million people living in camps. "Nearly every solar power panel sold in the European Union has its origins in China’s oppressed Xinjiang region" Where is the due diligence?

Remember that Greenpeace celebrated Vietnam's abandonment of its nuclear plans, but if they had followed through, Vietnam could've had 8,000 MWs of clean reliable power by 2025! Instead, coal continues to be the largest source of energy & this will continue past 2030.

In an effort to boost clean energy, India will be building MORE nuclear! India currently operates 22 reactors, is building 11 reactors, & has just approved 5 new sites for nuclear plants. Build baby Build🏗️

Japan 🇯🇵 Before 2011 nuclear generated 30% of its electricity & now only about 6%. With a complicated history with nuclear, I understand why it was left out. However, their display fails to remind people that nearly 20,000 lives were lost due to the Tōhoku earthquake & tsunami.

For those who fail to remember, there are actual humans that run nuclear plants. These are the workers that keep Belgium's air clean & Belgian's lights on 24/7. Nuclear industry workers are climate heroes 🌎

If only Vietnam had followed through with their proposed nuclear projects back in 2007. They could have had 8,000 MW of clean reliable power by 2025. Instead, Japan has just financed their new coal plant.

Advanced nuclear is one step closer to commercialization, but we still need our current fleet. There is no technical reason our reactors can’t operate at a high level for 80 years or longer, and we should squeeze every electron we can out of them for as long as possible.

@TinneVdS Is anybody else confused about the celebration of the industrialization of an ocean? Especially when we know Belgium is deliberately shuttering clean infrastructure that is already in place & producing zero-carbon energy.

Weather-dependent energy is dangerous, precarious energy. Traditionally it is a vanishingly small part of our supply. Now, hydro, a climate-dependent energy, also running short. We must be ready to hold accountable those who have led us to this point.

Pretty in pink🌸 For the🥇time, a U.S nuclear plant has produced hydrogen, aka pink hydrogen! Although 95% of the hydrogen produced in the U.S is sourced from fossil fuels, we can expect to see more nuclear plants join in on the fun.

As I see images from the #EndFossilFuel climate march at #nycclimateweek , I reflect on the closure of NY's nuclear plant Indian Point & how its lost generation was replaced with FOSSIL FUELS. It makes me question whether or not they are serious about ending fossil fuels.

New York's electricity mix shift 2019-2022 (including rooftop solar) shows the increase in fossil combustion due to the forced premature closure of #IndianPoint , which produced 2.5x the carbon-free energy of statewide #solar & #wind . #ClimateCrisis #CLCPA #NYActsOnClimate

For those that are able to afford an EV & a house, Sure. However, am I crazy to believe that citizens living in rich developed countries should NOT have to secure back up energy? Especially when you live in CA, where we pay some of the highest electricity prices.

The ability to run your house off EV battery during grid failures should really be a standard feature. It's quite a selling point for those living in areas w/frequent outages + a much cleaner alternative to a generator. A 60 kWh battery could run a typical home for about 2 days.

Spain 🇪🇸 Home to 7 nuclear reactors, nuclear generates 21% of Spain’s electricity. And yet in their handout materials their solution to energy security relies on energy efficiency & renewable energy. But this comes as no surprise since they aim to phase out nuclear by 2035.
