☀️Solar just passed nuclear. According to new BBC analysis of data from the energy think tank Ember, solar generated more electricity worldwide than nuclear power in the 12 months through September 2026, about 13% more. Read the BBC piece: vist.ly/5qab6 #solar

A Kelvin wave is arriving off Southern California right now. Warm water set off by El Niño, and scientists say each one can raise coastal sea levels by 6 to 12 inches. At San Onofre, 3.6 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel sits 100 feet from the Pacific.

$2 million a day. Who's paying for nuclear waste to stay put? 💸 The federal government was legally required to start taking spent fuel in 1998. 28 years later, 3.6 million pounds of it is still at San Onofre, 100 feet from the ocean. #SanOnofre #MoveTheWaste #NuclearWaste

What is nuclear waste? ☢️ It's the used uranium fuel from a nuclear reactor. When that fuel comes out, it's still highly radioactive, and it has to be kept away from people and the environment for thousands of years. 📬 Join our newsletter: vist.ly/5jmn7
