"A single small modular reactor at Darlington will produce 300 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power 300,000 homes."
Nuclear power is no perfect solution to the climate crisis, but I'm increasingly of the view that we need all hands on deck, we need stepping stones away from oil.

🌊Marine protected areas aren’t always as “protected” as they sound.
Spain is still allowing destructive #BottomTrawling inside these sites, and that’s why we, together with @clienteartheur.bsky.social, are taking the Government to court.

God, what an interview. Gisèle is such a powerful woman.
"Fighting that shame on an individual level, rejecting it for myself, also meant working for the collective. ... one of the accused kept staring at me, wanting to force me to look down. But I just kept staring back until he lowered his eyes."
