Energy Fuels’ has voluntarily agreed to temporarily pause ore transport to address any reasonable concerns of Navajo Nation President

[Buu Van Nygren @BuuVanNygren]

I have deployed Navajo Police to stop the illegal transport of uranium across the reservation.

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - “I am very disappointed that uranium is being hauled across our Navajo Nation right now,” President Nygren said. “I was notified 30 minutes ago, and I have ordered the Navajo Nation Police to escort the transport vehicles off our land. The lack of notification to the Navajo Nation is a blatant disregard for our tribal sovereignty and exposes our Diné people to toxic uranium, a substance that has devastated our community for decades .”

“As president, I do not approve of this transport and will continue to fight to ensure our people are protected from the actions of Energy Fuels,” Nygren said. #NoHaul

Watch carbon dioxide move through Earth’s atmosphere.

With this high resolution model, scientists can see CO2 rising from sources like power plants, fires, and cities and watch how that carbon dioxide spreads via wind patterns and atmospheric circulation. https://t.co/e0sXDIeNvd

EPA publicly trashed one of its researchers who found PFAS in pesticides, then put out its own study showing no PFAS in the products. New analysis finds around 40% of all EPA-approved active pesticide ingredients are PFAS, and the agency lied https://t.co/o92E1A69ri

There's been a meme running around showing solar carports. Usually, the "take" is we should be installing solar carports instead of using farmland for solar. Here's the thing: no one is stopping you from installing solar carports. So why don't we do it more often? A thread...

The share of fossil fuels in New Mexico's electricity mix is falling off a cliff. It's down to a record low of 34% as of April.

Just two decades ago, fossil fuels produced 99% of the state's power.

Why you ask?

FINALLY!
Our paper on 100%RE is out!

It traces the history and fast growth of the scientific field that models 100% renewable energy: no fossil or nuclear needed.

Hundreds of peer reviewed studies now claim 100%RE is possible worldwide against low cost!

Watchdog group blasts the Public Utility Commission's report on natural gas. “We wasted a year on this. Doing another investigation only makes sense if the commission is committed to solving this and protecting customers.” by @AlexBaumhardt https://t.co/yK4eOmHBvJ

Morrow County Commissioner Jim Doherty collected water from six rural Boardman taps in April. He sent them to a lab to test for nitrate. When the results were in, they called him back immediately. "They were asking me, ‘No one is drinking this, right?'" https://t.co/arjU7hgfHQ

Dispare and hopeless exist when folks aren't empowered. The constant singular focus on federal issues in the news cycle make "change" seem remote, unreachable. Folks, I have a great story to share. Five years ago, I helped save my city $120m. And like, 50 ppl know.

#PFAS is so common in consumer products that researchers can contaminate samples they collect through their gloves/clothes/lotion/sunscreen/perfumes and even sampling equipment.

[Kendra Chamberlain @KendraRC976]

EPA toxics office opts for industry-friendly definition of #PFAS that includes 6,500 compounds out of the more widely-recognized family of 12,000+ compounds. https://t.co/TCcYKsh3NA

@busblog @GuardianJessica Lol what nonsense. Creed was very popular UNTIL Americans began thinking it was a christian rock band then everyone started hating them.

The @wildadvocate found public lands in OR managed by BLM for livestock grazing that hadn’t received environmental reviews since 1970s - meaning their permits had been renewed four to five times over the decades without an environmental impact assessment. https://t.co/kKIUNfKdFC
