Nuclear safety in spotlight as French start-ups bring mini reactors to market
France wants to take the lead in rolling out safer, cleaner #nuclear#energy as an alternative to #fossil#fuels – but the growing number of start-ups promising to #decarbonise the #industry with small reactors is raising questions about safety and #environmental responsibility.
#UNGA live coverage:
President Biden told world leaders that they must stand together against #Russia :"We have to stand up to this naked aggression today and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow"
'Approving the #Rosebank oil and gas field in the North Atlantic would be a “death sentence”, #climate activists have said.'
UK 'regulators are considering granting the Norwegian company Equinor permission to begin exploiting one of the largest reserves of #fossil#fuels in the region. It would see up to 500 million barrels of oil pulled out over its lifetime with many scientists and campaigners voicing their opposition to the project'
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
"The bulk of the problem is still long-haul #flights, but until we can #fly on cleaner #fuels, we can start cutting #emissions where we can."
#Goverment policies and inter-cooperation are key to enabling Everything, Everywhere, All at Once solutions to mitigate #ClimateChange at every level, from hyper-local, to #national, to #international and, ultimately, #global.
