Chris Bowen says that nuclear waste is non-recyclable - this is false. Used nuclear fuel can be recycled into fuel for the future. We did the calculations and found that the used fuel stored across Europe could power the entire EU for 1000 years at current demand. www.weplanet.org/whatawaste

We're disappointed to see @foe.org.au using the anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear accident to exploit people's trauma and fears to push an agenda which doesn’t align with the scientific evidence.

I'm looking forward to chatting with these legends of nuclear advocacy on Monday morning! Australia's bitter partisan debate has drifted far from the point: cleaning up our energy system. Come along for a refreshing look at what this clean, reliable energy source can offer us. 9am AEST / 10am AEDT

Yesterday Matt Kean said that the Coalition's nuclear plan would drop a 2 billion tonne 'carbon emissions bomb' on our emissions targets. But its not nuclear that's contributing to these emissions - it's coal and gas. 🧵

Nuclear energy is the most dangerous form of energy ever invented - right? What if everything you thought you knew about nuclear energy was wrong and fixing the climate crisis required you to rethink what you thought you knew? Former Extinction Rebellion organiser Joel Scott-Halkes explains.

The most common objection we get to nuclear energy is, "What about the waste?" We’re always happy to tell people that we ❤️ nuclear waste. Small volumes, safely stored and managed, and naturally reducing over time. But the best part is, it’s not waste at all - watch to find out why.

It’s incredibly easy for misinformation to spread, even among well-meaning people. This is because misinformation often feels true or contains an element of truth while misrepresenting the complete picture. Thanks @climatetown.bsky.social for breaking down the misinformation from Landman.

Farming is a tough job & it's only getting tougher as our climate changes. But what if there was a better way to feed 10 billion people, one that didn't involve hardship, slaughtering animals or wrecking the environment? There is, as @georgemonbiot.bsky.social explains.

Australian states & territories, apart from Victoria & Western Australia, still allow the logging of our native forests – putting our climate and biodiversity at great risk. We’ve got to send a clear message that Australians want to see this come to an end. act.weplanet.org/end-native-f...

Australia's biodiversity is a point of pride for many Aussies & a major drawcard for our tourism industry. But our environmental laws, which fail to adequately balance biodiversity protection and human activities, increasingly put our biodiversity at risk. 1/2

Australia's anti-nuclear movement still hasn’t learned that The Simpsons isn’t real. Their latest stunt featured a giant inflatable three-eyed fish, straight out of the show. In the real world, nuclear energy is a proven source of clean, reliable power that can help us achieve our climate goals.

According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), 2024 was 1.6C warmer than pre-industrial times, easily beating the previous record year of 2023. We urgently need to reduce emissions and address climate change by phasing out fossil fuels and shifting to alternative proteins.

It's time for Chris Minns to end barbaric Greyhound Racing in NSW. NSW already banned greyhound racing once but repealed it after caving to pressure from the industry. It's time for the government to put an end to this cruel industry once and for all. Sign the petition linked below.
