Proximity to nuclear power plants was associated with elevated mortality from breast, colon, and lung cancers. From 2000 to 2020, an estimated 39,767 female deaths (95% CI: 9312–69,381), representing 2.01% (95% CI: 0.47–3.50%), and 38,124 male deaths (95% CI: 16,106–59,600), representing 2.33% (95% CI: 0.98–3.64%), were attributable to this proximity. Lung cancer accounted for the largest burden in both sexes, followed by breast and colon cancer in females and colon cancer in males. Mortality risks declined with increasing distance, becoming negligible beyond 50 km. Nature 20th May 2026 nature.com/articles/s4137…

@zatzi Meanwhile. Basic physics and models predict increased CO2 causes: ✅rising temperatures ✅rising sea levels ✅receding glaciers and land ice ✅depleting sea ice ✅acidifying oceans ✅increasing ocean heat content ✅other lines of evidence All observed.

Locals didn’t think Roundup was being sprayed near Lake Tahoe. So @natethecurious went to find out. Nate dug up maps from the Forest Service's website, and headed to a spot where one of them indicated spraying might already be happening. Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area since April, when our yearlong Mother Jones investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Roundup—is to spray forested areas, including this massive new project around Lake Tahoe. As the public outcry grew over the past few weeks, news begin circulating on social media that the Forest Service was backing off. “They cancelled the plan!" one person wrote. "People showed up to meetings, called our representatives and it’s finally cancelled. OUR VOICES MATTERED ON THIS ONE.” But that wasn't true. At Sierra-at-Tahoe, Nate stood on a mountainside that clearly had been doused in glyphosate. The plants around him were nearly all dead—killed with the controversial herbicide, which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed a probable human carcinogen—and that a 2020 report from the US Environmental Protection Agency said likely harms 93 percent of endangered species. You can read Nate's full report at MotherJones.com.

98% of Costa Rica's power already comes from #renewables. Half of the land is covered by forest. They're aiming to transform their entire economy to have a zero carbon footprint. It can be done, let's get moving. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal

These graphs annoy climate change deniers and fossil fuel lobby groups:

Quando os islâmicos estavam dominando o mundo e perseguindo os cristãos, não foram os protestantes que defenderam o cristianismo, que guardaram as relíquias, as tradições, e heranças da fé; foram os católicos, cruzados, templários, monges e padres.

Solar in 2025 grew 19x faster than experts at the International Energy Agency predicted in 2015. Solar is now the fastest growing electricity source in human history.

Trump has lifted the ban on cyanide bombs used to kill wildlife in the way, of destroying our public lands. It's beyond vile and repulsive! #SaveTheWildlife

@jackprandelli The answer is not to burn more methane. The answer is to build more offshore wind turbines. The fossil fuel era is over.

8 GW of oil fired power. A spring heat wave. Gas pipes already full. New England’s energy system just failed and the fix is the pipeline nobody wants to approve🔥 ISO-New England burned oil this week to survive a May heat wave. Not January or a polar vortex... May. The gas pipes were full. Oil was the only answer. This is a 20 year old structural failure and it's getting worse, not better. ⛽ Enbridge just launched Project Beacon 300 mmcfd of new capacity on the Algonquin system into New England. Existing corridors. Target in-service 2030. Combined with AGT Enhancement (75 mmcfd, 2028): 375 mmcfd of new gas deliverability into the region by 2030. Enbridge's claim: up to $2 billion per year in savings by cutting peak oil burn and expensive spot LNG💰 New England has the most ambitious decarbonisation targets in the US. It also just burned oil in a spring heat wave because climate advocates blocked the last pipeline expansion and will fight this one too. You cannot decarbonise a grid that runs on oil at peak demand. Every barrel burned because a gas pipe was full is a direct consequence of blocking the infrastructure that would have prevented it. 🌍 That argument is getting harder to dismiss.

200 Quadratmeilen Wüste. 15.000 Arbeiter. Eine eigene Entsalzungsanlage, ein eigenes Glasfasernetz, Roboter, die zweimal am Tag staubfrei wischen. Und Solarmodule, so weit das Auge reicht. Willkommen im Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Indien. Dem größten Kraftwerk, das die Menschheit je gebaut hat. 30 Gigawatt. Solar und Wind kombiniert, auf einer Salzwüste in Gujarat, betrieben vom Adani-Konzern. 13 Gigawatt sind bereits am Netz. Das allein wäre schon mehr als die gesamte installierte Solarleistung mancher europäischer Länder. Aber es wird noch verrückter. Weil tagsüber mehr Strom produziert wurde als verkauft werden konnte, hat Adani in neun Monaten die vermutlich größte Netzbatterie der Welt gebaut. 1,1 Gigawatt Leistung, 3,5 Gigawattstunden Kapazität. Offiziell in Betrieb seit diesem Monat. Bis April 2027 sollen weitere 10 Gigawattstunden dazukommen. 13,5 Gigawattstunden Batteriespeicher an einem einzigen Standort. Der Grund für die Batterie: Tagsüber ist der Strom billig, weil die Sonne scheint und alle Solaranlagen gleichzeitig liefern. Abends wird der Strom teuer, weil die Nachfrage steigt und Solar wegfällt. Adani speichert jetzt den billigen Tagesstrom und verkauft ihn abends zu Marktpreisen. Das ist kein Subventionsmodell. Das ist ein Geschäftsmodell. Adani-Nachhaltigkeitschef Arun Sharma sagt es so: "Wir machen nichts auf Megawatt-Ebene. Auch nicht auf Hunderte-Megawatt-Ebene. Wenn es nicht Gigawatt ist, haben unsere CEOs nicht die Aufmerksamkeitsspanne dafür." Und Khavda ist nicht allein. In der chinesischen Provinz Qinghai, auf dem Tibetischen Plateau in 3.000 Metern Höhe, steht der Talatan-Solarpark. Über 17 Gigawatt, auf einer Fläche von sieben Manhattan. Die Höhe ist kein Nachteil, sondern ein Vorteil: Die Sonne strahlt intensiver als auf Meereshöhe, und die kalte Luft macht die Solarmodule effizienter. Unter den Modulen grasen Schafe. In Kalifornien plant der Westlands Water District einen 21-Gigawatt-Solarpark auf brachliegenden Agrarflächen im Central Valley, deren Wasser versiegt ist. Aus einem Wasserproblem wird ein Energieprojekt. Stellt euch das vor: 30 Gigawatt Erzeugung plus 13,5 Gigawattstunden Speicher an einem einzigen Standort in Indien. 17 Gigawatt auf dem Dach der Welt in China. 21 Gigawatt auf ehemaligem Farmland in Kalifornien. Vor fünf Jahren galten Projekte mit einigen hundert Megawatt als Rekorde. Die Solarenergie hat die Gigawatt-Schwelle durchbrochen. Und sie kommt nicht wieder zurück.

The Great Replacement is real. We either act now and take our nations back, or accept extinction. The choice is ours.

Global sales of combustion engine cars peaked in 2017— To decarbonize road transport, the world must move away from petrol and diesel cars towards electric vehicles and other forms of low-carbon transport. This transition has already started. In fact, global sales of combustion engine cars are well past their peak and are now falling. As you can see in the chart, global sales peaked in 2017. This is calculated based on data from the International Energy Agency. Bloomberg New Energy Finance also estimated this peak occurred around that time. Sales of electric cars, on the other hand, are growing quickly. They more than doubled in the three years from 2022 to 2025. (This Data Insight was written by @_HannahRitchie.)

The $1.7B border wall contract through Big Bend equals more than half of the operating budget of the entire National Park System—the same budget the admin tried to slash by $900 million this year. This administration is systematically gutting the National Park Service while handing more than 1/2 of the entire NPS operating budget to a billionaire contractor to build a completely pointless wall that will destroy this crown-jewel of the national park system. H/T @sammiecarrots for flagging this jaw-dropper in @bigbendsentinel.

@FarmerCrafted Ever heard of agrivoltaics? Since you're a propagandist, I doubt it. Read: farmland.org/smart-solar

Look at the mess grazing cows are making! Oh, wait.

@alex_fasulo Ever heard of agrivoltaics? Since you're not very bright, I doubt it. farmland.org/smart-solar

The land under these panels will never be farmed again. Potato growing associations nationwide will not buy potatoes grown on ex-solar sites. Why? The panels leach heavy metals, as well as drop glass shards and microplastics onto the soil below them. In a mass commercial arrangement, vegetation below the panels is soaked in herbicides. The fertile farmland is gone forever.

Wind turbines are recycled, it’s not 2014 anymore. One of the internet’s favourite anti-renewable myths is “you can’t recycle wind turbines.” That argument is years out of date, yet the loons still try and use it as some sort of “got ya” to make themselves feel better. Modern wind turbines are largely recyclable already. Steel, copper, aluminium and concrete from turbines are routinely recovered and reused. Even the blades, which used to be the difficult part, are now being recycled into cement, construction materials, playground equipment and industrial products. Companies are also developing fully recyclable blades, with newer designs already entering the market. Meanwhile, fossil fuels are burned once and gone forever. Oil spills, air pollution and billions of tonnes of CO2 don’t exactly get “recycled.” No energy source is impact free, but pretending wind turbines just get dumped in landfill forever simply isn’t true anymore. Technology moves on. The myths just haven’t caught up.

🚨 BREAKING: A nationalist plan to immensely surge deportation of migrants in Europe has just PASSED the European Parliament, a major blow to the elitist leftists who want the 3rd world to destroy the West KEEP PUSHING, EUROPE! You can and MUST save yourselves 🔥

This video should be broadcast 24/7. The Muslim Brotherhood leader explains in his own words that, after 700 years of failed attempts to conquer Europe by force, they are now conquering it peacefully with the help of naive Western governments. The EU's weak and corrupt politicians have caused a disaster of biblical proportions. This won't end well.
