The 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear accident is approaching. The founder of WePlanet Ukraine, Serhii Kurykin remembers the accident well. I highly recommend reading about his journey from anti-nuclear activist to a supporter of nuclear energy. www.weplanet.org/post/intervi...

Are vaccines overrated?
At WePlanet, we believe in science and human ingenuity to liberate nature and elevate humanity.
This week, @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with Dr Seth Berkley about why vaccines remain one of humanity’s greatest public health tools.

Power banks & solar/battery charging stations have been delivered to WePlanet Ukraine & their partner, Green Youth of Ukraine.
Together they are working for a cleaner, better future for Ukraine even as Putin tries to destroy their country.
None of it possible without our donors. Thank you.
As we face the second global energy crisis in five years, remember: the clean energy transition is also an energy security transition.
Nuclear, wind, solar and hydro make us less exposed to authoritarian regimes and global shocks. Electrification makes us more resilient.
For a century, geothermal meant hunting for rare pockets of heat.
New technology means we can now access this heat almost anywhere.
This week @marklynas.bsky.social with Terra Rogers, program director for Superhot Rock Geothermal at Clean Air Task Force.

Earth, seen from the far side of the moon.
We are the only species that can look back at this planet and understand what we're seeing — fragile, magnificent, precious.
That awareness is a gift.
We have the tools. We have the ingenuity. The future is what we choose. 🌍
The EU's proposed ban on "meaty" terms could be a "Kodak moment" for food tech innovation.
WePlanet's Joel Scott-Halkes writes, "Do we want to be as reliant on China for imported protein as we are for solar panels? If the CMO file passes, that future may be closer than we think."
A view of Earth from the Artemis mission is a powerful reminder: this is the only known place in the universe where life like ours exists. 🌍
Protecting Earth isn’t about saving the planet, it will persist in some form — it’s about protecting, at least for now, the only home that sustains humanity.
Press release: Support for nuclear energy surges while opposition drops to the lowest level ever.
Support is highest among voters under 35. Labor & Greens could both secure significant votes if they adopted a policy supporting nuclear energy.

This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with @dratropos.bsky.social, about why conspiracy thinking is more dangerous than ever.
The appeal is simple: know the conspiracy, & everything makes sense. Real conspiracies exist, making fake ones nearly impossible to debunk.

It's only waste if we waste it!
Last week we released the German 'What a Waste' report which outlines the case for retaining and recycling Germany's used nuclear fuel which still contains virtually limitless clean energy.

Wealthy nations are telling Africa to stop deforestation — while millions still rely on charcoal to cook.
LPG could save millions from deadly indoor air pollution & protect Africa’s forests. But it's being blocked in the name of climate action. They're effectively telling Africa to stop cooking.
Join us for our April community meeting where we will discuss how making meat from cells lets us enjoy the foods we know and love without the animal welfare, public health & environmental impacts of existing animal agriculture.
Everyone welcome. RSVP:

The world is scrambling to find alternatives to oil & gas as the crisis in the Middle East escalates.
Hydrogen is again being offered up as a possible solution. @mliebreich.bsky.social joined @marklynas.bsky.social on our podcast last year to explain why it's not the solution it's made out to be.
How do we unlock the resources which enable the key technologies that are driving the transition to a cleaner, more efficient global economy?
We spoke with experts about how governments & industry can streamline approvals while safeguarding our environment & securing social licence.

“Ultra-processed food” panic is shaping food policy in all the wrong ways.
This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with food scientist Nesli Sözer about why processing is not the problem — poor nutrition is.

We ❤️ nuclear waste!
It's saved billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
And best of all, it can be recycled into fuel for the future. That's hundreds, if not thousands, of years of potential energy.
Let's include nuclear to fix the climate crisis and let's not waste nuclear waste.
