The group had challenged the presidentâs executive orders as unconstitutional. A judge ��reluctantlyâ said the suit was too broad in scope.

We can build all the solar panels and wind turbines we wantâbut if they donât 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: ÂŁ38 bn in renewables, storage, and savings could deliver 80 TWh/year of clean energy â triple what Sizewell C would supply â and start saving carbon this decade, not the 2040s. 7/

đ ÂŁ5 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 â cheaper, safer, and non-toxic. 5/

đŹď¸ ÂŁ10 bn in wind power = 10 GW onshore or 5 GW offshore â enough for ~30 TWh a year, far more than Sizewell C. Clean, proven, and quick to build. 4/

âď¸ ÂŁ8 bn could deliver 25 GW of rooftop solar + batteries â producing 4Ă more annual electricity than Sizewell C for the same cost, and all installed within 3 years. 3/

đĄ ÂŁ10 bn could insulate 4 million homes and fit 2 million heat pumps â saving 15 TWh of electricity + 30 TWh of gas each year. Thatâs cheaper energy forever, not a 15-year wait for Sizewell C 2/

Sizewell Câs cost has jumped to ÂŁ38 billion â thatâs ÂŁ1/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/

Households will pay ÂŁ1 a month towards the construction of the UK's second new nuclear power plant.

âAn AMOC collapse is something to be avoided at all cost. The issue is not whether weâre 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 itâ @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.
