The group had challenged the president’s executive orders as unconstitutional. A judge ��reluctantly” said the suit was too broad in scope.

We can build all the solar panels and wind turbines we want—but if they don’t exceed demand at peak times, and we ignore storage, fossil gas will fill the gap and set the high price for everyone. 2/

Instead of locking ÂŁ38 bn into a single nuclear plant, we could power the UK with millions of local renewables, smarter homes, and EV-to-home batteries. Faster. Cleaner. Cheaper. #Renewables #EnergyIndependence #SizewellC #NetZero 8/

All together: £38 bn in renewables, storage, and savings could deliver 80 TWh/year of clean energy — triple what Sizewell C would supply — and start saving carbon this decade, not the 2040s. 7/

⚡ £5 bn for smart grids & EV-to-home tech: let cars power homes, cut peak demand, and reward users for flexibility. A smarter grid means fewer power stations. 6/

🔋 £5 bn could build grid-scale storage (batteries + pumped hydro) so renewables can deliver power even when the wind or sun pause. Sodium batteries are emerging — cheaper, safer, and non-toxic. 5/

🌬️ £10 bn in wind power = 10 GW onshore or 5 GW offshore — enough for ~30 TWh a year, far more than Sizewell C. Clean, proven, and quick to build. 4/

☀️ £8 bn could deliver 25 GW of rooftop solar + batteries — producing 4× more annual electricity than Sizewell C for the same cost, and all installed within 3 years. 3/

💡 £10 bn could insulate 4 million homes and fit 2 million heat pumps — saving 15 TWh of electricity + 30 TWh of gas each year. That’s cheaper energy forever, not a 15-year wait for Sizewell C 2/

Sizewell C’s cost has jumped to £38 billion — that’s £1/month added to our bills for a decade. Instead of one slow nuclear plant, we could invest in cleaner, faster energy solutions that cut demand, bills, and carbon. https://t.co/UOyo5aMsvd 1/

“An AMOC collapse is something to be avoided at all cost. The issue is not whether we’re sure this is going to happen. The issue is that we need to rule this out at 99.9 % probability. Once we have a definite warning signal it will be too late to do anything about it” @rahmstorf

This is an extremely disturbing study. According to new research reported here, the probability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapsing due to climate change is much higher than previously believed. One author said: "We found that (on our current

Microbes millions of years old, activated from melting permafrost, convert organic matter into carbon dioxide & methane, both bad news for increasing human caused climate change. https://t.co/Aq5Puhzrx9

Researchers incubated permafrost samples from Alaska at different temperatures and found that microbes from the last ice age can reactivate and resume breaking down carbon.

‘Tell The Truth’ is XR’s first demand. The crises we face must be communicated accurately for people to take meaningful action. Misinformation, disinformation and sensationalism are running riot. 1/
