⚠️Ya es oficial⚠️ Las propietarias acaban de solicitar oficialmente la extensión para operar la central nuclear de Almaraz hasta 2030. "Hasta que no lo pidan las eléctricas, no podemos hacer nada" ha sido la excusa del Gobierno hasta ahora. Ya no les sirve.

Tihange 1 nuclear power plant will shutdown for the last time at midnight tonight after 50 years of service. The Belgian government, despite reversing their disastrous nuclear phase-out law, is still allowing @ENGIEgroup to shutdown this vital piece of clean energy

I’m eating lab grown meat the second it’s mass market ready. It’s biologically identical to animal meat and will reduce suffering more than any technology in the history of our planet as long as enough people switch over from factory farmed meats.

I love that @mark_lynas named his pod Saving the World From Bad Ideas. We took a stab at it; you might not like all we had to say but hear us out!

This is what happens when climate absolutism trumps everything else: Hundreds of thousands die each year from indoor air pollution caused by wood and charcoal. Meanwhile, rich countries block access to clean-burning LPG. Powerful campaign by @weplanetint -->
