Which EU countries could reverse their nuclear energy phaseouts? “Governments in Belgium and Italy are trying to lay out plans for a nuclear comeback, while calls to reverse Spain's phaseout remain stark.” www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

MPs have voted down a social media ban for under 16s. As @profsanderlinden.bsky.social argues in Nature Health, bans don't prepare future generations or empower youth, they only restrict autonomy. A better way forward is technology education & measured safeguards. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

You may know your countries of the world, but how many of these scientists have you heard of? youtube.com/shorts/Akulv...

Apparently I’m a “shill” for writing this book. I agree - I’m a shill for human progress & flourishing. Energy poverty is a war on human dignity, and abundant clean energy is the solution. Environmentalism got this wrong, forgetting that Energy is Life. amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ

Excited about this! Loved the book.

If you’ve read my new book, Energy is Life, please take a moment to leave an Amazon review. Independent publishers lack the means to compete with the Big Five, so every book review helps, as it helps to increase visibility organically. Thank you! amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ

Nice moves @lizzicollinge.bsky.social!

Thanks, was great to be there!

A guy on TikTok moved to the UK from Florida & is asking why he’s always popping out for groceries here. He said that back in the US they did large shops less often, as food would last for weeks…

Gave a talk in Reading tonight and one of the attendees was using this sticky note system. Spot the banana! 🍌

I consider myself an environmentalist and this book by @zionlights.bsky.social articulated beautifully pretty much everything I think about nuclear, technology and climate change. I hope all environmentalists read this.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to live in a Star Trek universe. A future where humanity outgrows scarcity, fear, and the need to dominate one another. I still dream that, overall, we are stepping closer to this world. As Picard said, “We must strive to be more than we are.” 🖖

If you enjoy books about reasoning & solutions, in Energy is Life I examine why the environmental movement turned against clean energy, why so many policymakers listened, and where we go from here. Out now: amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ

If you care about the environment and say “follow the science” but aren’t sure about nuclear energy, consider reading Energy is Life. This is what a leading climate scientist has to say about it. amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ

Germany once claimed the Energiewende as a model for others to follow. Instead, it offers a warning to the rest of Europe. the-european.eu/story-56287/...

Science, reason, and abundant energy are not just useful tools, but the foundations of civilisation & human flourishing. Understanding this transforms how we think, act, and build a better future. amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ

"Energy is Life" by @zionlights.bsky.social is out today and it is a powerful argument for energy abundance and progress! Strongly recommended reading – and buying for your degrowther friends. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/191745845...

Grateful to Trudy for this endorsement of my new book, Energy is Life. Out now. amzn.eu/d/hAsmuUJ www.amazon.com/Energy-Life-...

Societal progress happened because energy made everything else possible. In essence, this is an Enlightenment argument: that reason, science, and human wellbeing should guide our choices, including how we produce the energy that modern life depends on. open.substack.com/pub/zionligh...

One of the best feelings as a writer is seeing your work in print for the first time. This book was a labour of love; I poured many hours of research and reflection into it, and I can’t wait for it to land in bookstores around the world tomorrow. If you read it, let me know what you think! 📚 ⚛️ 🌱

Not bad, could be better
