Why don't we think about carbon the same way we think about income? Everyone gets a tax-free amount and then those that use more get taxed increasingly more. Progressive, polluter pays.

We welcome the announcement of Wylfa as the preferred site for the United Kingdom's next gigawatt #NuclearEnergy project. The Westinghouse AP1000® reactor and this fantastic site are the perfect fit that together would deliver clean, reliable power and local, regional and national prosperity for generations.
We’re following up on the Civil Nuclear Roadmap commitment to explore a further major nuclear power station. The government’s preferred site is Wylfa in North Wales, bringing jobs and investment into the area whilst boosting our energy security 👷🇬🇧 Read more 👇

Our two-day UK Supplier Event, headed up by Westinghouse Senior Vice President for the AP300™ #SMR @RitaB66, is off to a great start in Lancashire – the home of our Springfields facility. We have already heard about the importance of the nuclear renaissance in the United Kingdom from Lincoln Hill of the @NIAUK and Councillor Phillippa Williamson, Leader of @LancashireCC. Also a big thank you to @NuclearAMRC for its support with this event, and all those who are attending!

Thrilled with @GBNgovuk’s swift downselect that includes @WECNuclear’s AP300™ #SMR, based on proven AP1000 reactor technology. Looking forward to contributing to the UK’s net zero goals and adding more jobs to the >1000 @WECNuclear employees already in the UK!
We are honored to announce our AP300™ #SMR has been selected for the next phase of @GBNgovuk's technology selection process. We look forward to demonstrating how the AP300 SMR is the best option for the UK's net zero & energy security goals. Read more: bit.ly/3PLYtg6

I think we should take a Manhattan Project approach to clean energy. Get the brightest minds together to find a clean, reliable, scalable energy source to help meet world-saving energy, transport and industrial decarbonisation needs. I just don't know what to call it 😉

Hi Twitter, what's "projection"? Twitter: Here you go -
Waiting 15 to 20 years for new nuclear reactors when this decade is crucial to avoid the worst of the climate crisis – that's climate sabotage Time, money and ingenuity should be spent stopping energy waste and building renewable energy

Have you considered the possibility that I might be working from home and not need a train @Se_Railway . Tying travel to work is wrong and corrosive

📢 Announced today: up to £13 million for nuclear fuel fabricators Westinghouse. This is a significant investment at the Westinghouse Springfields site in #Lancashire safeguarding hundreds of highly skilled jobs in the northwest.
We've received a £13M ($16M) grant from the UK to explore the development of uranium conversion at our Springfields fuel facility in #England. It's a great investment as utilities seek to diversify supplies & transition from Russian-provided services. info.westinghousenuclear.com…
