Good morning! Started my day at 5am this morning to speak at a nuclear energy stakeholder webinar for Thailand. Thailand is looking into small modular reactors to complement renewables for clean electricty production, as currently the electricity production is dominated by gas. #weplanet #nuclear

Who's afraid of the veggie burger? Many EU politicans seem to be. We formed the NoConfusion Coalition to fight this madness. We succesfully got words such as "burger" out of the trialogue proposal, but now some politicians want them back in. www.europesays.com/europe/124560/ #noconfusion

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... #weplanet

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.

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."

Europe’s imminent ban on lab grown products using “meaty” terms could undermine a major growth industry and leave us importing much of our protein

While the Global North expands fossil fuels for its citizens, it pressures development banks to block financing for LPG, a fossil fuel that could provide clean cooking for millions of the world’s poorest people who lack electricity. This is an injustice! youtu.be/mq87IM2pib0

My spouse now prefers pulled oats because he loves the texture and taste. So indeed, taste and texture are key. There are a lot of good products out there already but in the EU the regulation process is way too slow when it comes to new innovations.

Yesterday we made #plantbased tortillas. I always use greek- style soy yoghurt instead of sour cream and put a lot of spices in it. My oldest daughter and her friend loved it and and the sauce ran out before we had finished eating. Instead of ground beef we use pullet oats, a Finnish invention.
