Does tech offer hope or false promise?
This week @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by @adamdorr.bsky.social to explore the tech revolutions reshaping our world: energy (solar, wind, batteries), transportation (EVs & autonomous vehicles), food (precision fermentation), & labor (AI).

Restarting Tihange 1 & 2 is technically feasible and far wiser than irreversible demolition.
We'll always fight for evidence-based climate solutions.

"Belgium is partially reversing the nuclear phase-out, but simultaneously allowing essential infrastructure to be demolished. From a climate and energy security perspective, that is socially unacceptable." - Rob De Schutter, Head of Communications

MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACTION!
We've halted the demolition of Tihange's cooling towers!
Why it matters:
✅ Prevents irreversible destruction of billions in clean energy infrastructure
✅ Keeps the door open for restarting Tihange 1 & 2
✅ Protects Belgium's energy security & climate goals
But we shouldn't allow ourselves to be complacent—this will only occur if we plan strategically for this future demand by using all clean energy technology where appropriate.
Help us defend and advocate for clean energy:

The good news is that wind, solar & nuclear are being rapidly deployed to meet this growing demand, and the IEA forecasts that they will meet half of the world's electricity demand by 2030.

The world is electrifying and clean energy is leading the way!
A new International Energy Agency report forecasted that electricity demand will continue to rise by roughly 3.5% annually as industry and transport are rapidly electrified, and developing countries increase access to electricity.

Europe this morning has made another step towards evidence-based policy on modern plant science.
This is a big win for farmers, consumers and our environment as it will allow more efficient crops to be grown across the EU.
At WePlanet, we have been working towards this outcome for several years.
Thanks for sharing the episode. Here's a source from 2021 outlining how states have passed laws restricting health responses such as movement restrictions.

Nuclear energy construction has been too slow in the West and needs reform. But nuclear energy still remains a key technology for clean, reliable and affordable energy as we transition away from fossil fuels.
