• Pm2.5 from fossil fuels causes 13% of all deaths in the U.S. (doi.org/10.1016/j.en...) but people trying to roll back standards that protect health tell us we should take care of ourselves. [bsky, 16 points, 0 comments]
• I’m an environmentalist and I’m also pro-nuclear energy (in some situations).  Because no, those terms aren’t mutually exclusive. Sources: doi.org/10.1016/j.en... doi.org/10.1136/bmj-... #nuclearene [bsky, 0 points, 1 comments]
