New global assessment finds #nuclear is not cost-competitive with #solar and #wind in most countries. Small modular reactors (#SMR) remain 1-2 decades away from wide deployment. #Russia controlled 40% of global uranium enrichment capacity in 2025. www.energy-transitions.org/role-of-nucl...

Nuclear energy could double by 2050, but AI-driven power demand does not change the economic case
New global assessment finds nuclear is not cost-competitive with solar and wind in most countries, despite renewed interest arising from AI datacentres and energy security concerns

Not environmentalists or activists just community members sick of the earth shaking blasts and constant black dust coating every surface in their homes every day and their kids and grandkids lungs. 🫂👏❤️

Mind you even in the 60’s there were fabulous teachers in public schools, who wouldn’t have dreamed of such cruelty, they were my inspiration to become a teacher. I still remember those kind mentors, even in my 70s ❤️

Unfortunately can’t say the same Bridie. 60’s yr 3 nsw, naughty got you sat by an overweight, sweaty illiterate kid. Worse, few towns over misbehavers were sat beside FN kids as punishment 😢 As a public school teacher for 35 yrs, now retired, we fought against such cruelty and won I think. 🤞

Had to put up with Barnaby, David Sharma today on #AfternoonBriefing but worth it to listen to Ann Aly on immigration and Zali Steggle on pre cop and high court decision re responsibility for emissions. So articulate. ❤️ #auspol

Same Bridie. I know racism was always liking in the shadows, especially against First Nations people but never expressed so loudly, brazenly and funded and supported by media and politicians. I’m really appalled by this.

It’s bloody awful. I don’t know where this anti immigrant vitriol comes from, I’ve never experienced it so openly and aggressively expressed in my lifetime. I’m old. It’s heartbreaking.

Purposely done to shock those who know, and fly over the heads of those who don’t recognise the images. 😢

We have hungry hippos for the grandies, they love it. It’s a smash em game 😂 we’re big on the board games including backgammon and chess, but laughs and giggles and noise from hippos is wonderful ❤️

He sure knows his stuff, and heart is in the right place but he does come across as hectoring at times which makes me uncomfortable, like I’m being lectured to. I think Larissa successfully conveyed conviction w/o the condescension so held and improved numbers.

Came here to say just this, these companies use our roads, water, cut down our forests and destroy ancient sites and our taxes to clean up after them. 🤬

These facts are always buried by western media, plus the fact that many protesting current regime are the Shah’s supporters or descendants who fled the revolution stripping Iran of a lot of its wealth.

Again thanks, it certainly helped me get a handle on the history and networking contributing to the huge increase in wealth of the few and their influence on our democracies at the expense of the many. I’ve shared it on Bluesky and privately with a few of my friends. 💪🏽

Thank you Tim, for articulating the forces many of us,I believe, have been instinctively fighting against for years. An essential read.

This is a weird way to hold up 3 fingers for the so called 3 peat or is it b/c I don’t follow AFL. And Lachie Neale give the white supremacy signal as he left the stage? He certainly had the shit eating grin.

Im sorry that yre so sick and miserable, that throat sounds bloody awful. Hope you can rest a bit today and get a decent sleep tonight. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon. 🤞🫂

Oh that’s awful MT 🫂 Is it a productive or dry cough. Productive at least you can cough up mucus. Dry maybe an expectorant for the daytime? You may know this, but too much suppressive meds can lead to worse infection as I found out and fam dr made me promise only for bed. Feel better soon. ❤️

Rikodeine is definitely the go for really uncontrollable coughing, esp before bed so one can sleep.
