Here’s my latest roundup of all the articles I wrote in the past week (I think… feel like I may have missed one or two this week… hopefully not). Hope you enjoy them!
I decided rather than posting the first part of each article I write on here verbatim that I would start doing a one-article summary once a week of the articles I wrote during the week. We’ll see how this goes.
Each individual article is now being published to my Facebook page immediately, though… if you want to see each one as soon as published!

It was just a few hours ago when I wrote that I thought I’d be delving into the topic of nuclear energya little more soon. Well, soon is now.
This post is about two nuclear reactors that are an urgent matter to some (in the nuclear industry and politics) and also, potentially, the source of a very big bill for U.S. taxpayers.

For ages, people have been saying: “Solar is a great, clean, renewable energy source, but it is just too expensive. Other energy sources, like nuclear, may have some (or serious) environmental risks, but they are cheaper.”
Now, a new report out of Duke University says that solar energy and nuclear energy have passed a “historic crossover,” where decreasing solar energy costs and increasing nuclear energy costs have met, and then parted. Solar energy is now cheaper than nuclear energy and is getting increasingly cheaper every day.

Important activist opportunity to help make a film about Haiti that goes deep into the country’s history, culture, and food insecurity issues.
Haiti was on people’s map after the horrible earthquake it suffered recently, and then… quickly off it.
Perhaps a much bigger issue for Haiti than this recent earthquake, however, is a food crisis it has been suffering for numerous years. On the positive side, some grassroots efforts are trying to bring Haiti back to a sustainable, self-sufficient food system.
Now, you have the opportunity to help bring that story to many more people via film.

Greenpeace recently found genetically engineered maize from Monsanto, MON810, illegally growing in Italy. Now, activists from Italy, Austria, Germany and Hungary are quarantining this GE maize.
“Greenpeace has taken action today to prevent any further contamination from these hazardous and illegal GE crops,” said Federica Ferrario, Greenpeace Italy Agriculture campaigner. “For days these crops will have been contaminating not only neighbouring fields, but countryside further away as well, as insects and winds disseminate their pollen.”

Fossil fuel subsidies are huge. It is something many of us now know, but which even more people don’t. Thus, it is something we come back to from time to time on here.
A new report out by Bloomberg New Energy Finance shows that governments worldwide spend a ton more on fossil fuels than on renewable energy.
