The Civil Nuclear Roadmap includes exploring the construction of a major new power station, £300 million ($382 million) of investment to produce an advanced uranium fuel and "smarter regulation". 

Taken together, the measures would quadruple UK nuclear power by 2050 to 24 gigawatts, enough to provide a quarter of the UK's electricity needs.

"Nuclear is the perfect antidote to the energy challenges facing Britain -- it's green, cheaper in the long-term and will ensure the UK's energy security," said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

"This is the right long-term decision and is the next step in our commitment to nuclear power, which puts us on course to achieve net zero by 2050 in a measured and sustainable way," he added.

The government says it is committed to the 2050 net zero target but has come under fire after announcing last summer it will issue "hundreds" of new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.

It is also grappling with a cost-of-living crisis partly caused by the spike in oil and gas prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Energy minister Claire Coutinho said the plans would mean the UK would "never again be held to ransom over energy by tyrants like Vladimir Putin".

The government said the proposals represented "the biggest expansion of nuclear power for 70 years", adding it would "reduce electricity bills, support thousands of jobs and improve UK energy security".  

Construction 

The most eye-catching proposal is the possible construction of another power station as big as Sizewell in east England, construction on which is due to begin this year, and Hinkley in west England, which is currently under construction.

Both power stations will be capable of powering six million homes each.  

The UK currently has nine operational nuclear reactors on five sites but many are nearing the end of their operating lives. 

Six reactors on three sites have been shut down since 2021 and will be dismantled.

However, operator EDF announced in March that it was extending the life of two British power plants -- Heysham 1 and Hartlepool. 

The UK intends to build up to eight new reactors by 2050.

The government said on Sunday it will invest up to £300 million into producing the HALEU fuel required for new high-tech reactors, and which currently is only commercially produced in Russia.  

"The UK will lead the way from its North West production hub to provide the world with this form of uranium fuel, with the first plant aiming to be operational early in the next decade," said the government. 

Regulators will also be allowed to assess projects while designs are finalised in a loosening of rules aimed at speeding along construction plans.

I’m not an idiot 

Gotham City,  New Jersey. USA 

Robin watched as a plane landed at the Gotham International  Airport or the GIA. According to his father’s research, a gang leader who went by the name of King of Spades would be coming home to America from the United Kingdom, where he robbed a series of banks. He caused quite a stir for Batman’s allies in the UK, and the whole team was eager to end his criminal career, along with his gang members. 

“Batman, I see the target,” Robin stated, pressing down on the earpiece he wore so those on the comlink could hear him. 

“Great job, Robin,” Batman replied. “Now get to the next zone, Red Robin and Nightwing are in the building to monitor the target. Do not engage. We are to follow him to the hideout of the Royal Flush Gang.” 

The boy in red and green sighed. “I know, Batman, I’m not an idiot.” 

“I was simply reminding you,” Batman pointed out. “There is a break-in at a local retail store, Spoiler and I will handle it,” The man announced before cutting off the conversation.  

“You know what would be useful right now?” A voice came through on the intercom. 

“What, Nightwing?”  Robin asked. 

“Oo! Let me guess,” yet another voice exclaimed. “Miss Martian’s mental link?” 

“Ding ding ding,” Nightwing replied. “Red Robin is our winner.” Then the man sighed, “I’m missing my old team. Missions like this always remind me of them.” 

“Sorry we’re not good enough for you, Grayson,” Robin spat. 

“Boys, focus,” Batman’s voice came through on the earpiece. “And no real names, you all know this.” 

Robin tutted in frustration. “Yes sir.” 

“I can feel your anger from here, Robin,” Nightwing stated, there was a shutter in his voice before he let out a dry laugh. “Shit, I see our target. He is making his way to the far east exit.” 

“On it,” Red Robin replied. “I have eyes on him, is Batgirl and Red Hood ready?” 

“They are,” Batman answered. “Robin, can you tag his car?” 

“That’s easy,” Robin stated. “I was trained since a child for missions much more strenuous than this.” 

“Strenuous?” Nightwing asked. 

“It’s a synonym for hard,” the younger chuckled. “It’s a bit disappointing you don’t know the word.” 

“Ouch, how does that burn feel, Nightwing,” Red Robin chimed with a chuckle.

“I know what strenuous means, I’ m just surprised you know,” Nightwing sighed with defeat. 

“I’m not an idiot.” 

“I never said you were!”

“I’m heading to the car now,” Robin growled before switching off his Bluetooth device and storming out of the area. 

On the other side of the airport, Jade Knutsvig was just stepping off the warm plane and into the humid building full of bodies pushing and pulling to board their flights on time. Her eyes widened as she assessed the large building. In all her years she had never been in an airport as large as GIA. Other than the Mall of America, she had never been in a place this large. She had barely traveled outside of her home state. It was completely foreign to the girl.

After the first wave of shock passed, she found herself sitting on a bench, taking in the glass walls that allowed the pale orange light of the setting sun into the structure. It reminded her of tree sap, and she pulled a piece of crystallized amber from her carry-on. Amber could absorb negative energy, and ever since she was a young girl she was able to rely on the smooth stone to ease her anxieties. 

Jade whispered a small prayer to herself. It wasn’t to any god, but it was a cry for the universe to help guide her through the maze of the airport. After a few deep breaths, Jade pulled out her phone to message her sister. As the device turned on she could see the shadow of a man looming over her. Without looking at him she could already feel an untrustworthy energy radiating from his aura. 

“Are you lost?” The man questioned. “Where is your mom?” 

“I’m by myself,” She swiftly answered. The girl was unfamiliar with the hostilities of larger communities. Jade grew up in the comfort of small towns where everyone knew their neighbors and had their noses in one another's business. Her eyes glanced up at the man, and once she made eye contact with him her stomach dropped. 

“My name is Bruce Wayne. You might not know of me, but I’m a bit of a celebrity around here. I saw you got off a fight from Minneapolis. Are you from there?” 

“No,” Jade whispered. Where is Eliza she found herself thinking. She flies me all the way out to Gotham only to abandon me in an airport! 

Being stuck in her thoughts, Jade missed the moment that the man before her reached for her right forearm. His large hand grasped her body, and a rough pull brought her to her feet. 

“Woah, dude,” She exclaimed, trying to tug away from him. Her attempt to escape his friends was useless and it only made him hold tighter. “You don’t know what you’re doing! My sister is waiting for me, she will know I’m missing.” 

Pleading wasn’t helping Jade’s case, and the man began to lead Jade into the crowd of the airport. Her bag was left behind on the bench, along with her phone. Panic began to set in. This was nothing like home. 

“Help!” Jade screamed, “Help me! Someone!”

The man began to dig his nails into her skin, “shut up,” he growled. He then turned to the crowd the circled them. “Sorry, my daughter is just throwing a fit.” 

“Help! Please. I don’t know this man!” The young woman began to recall what her older sister taught her many years ago. “Please! This isn’t my dad!” 

“Barbra?” A voice sounded from the crowd, and a man with bright blue eyes and dark hair stepped out. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” 

Another stranger? Why couldn’t her sister be here to grab her? Yet, this guy seemed a lot better than the man who has dragged her across the airport. “Uh- Hi,” Jade said awkwardly. “I don’t know this man. I think he’s trying to kidnap me.” 

The assailant let go of the teen and began to push his way through the crowd. The man who referee to her as Barbara stepped closer. “Hey, let me help you.” 

“I’m okay,” Jade snapped. She was anxious, homesick, and had her life flash before her eyes. Overthinking took over her, and her brain visualized each situation that could have come to her if the man hadn’t saved her. 

“It's no bother,” The man stated. 

“I thank you for your help,” Jade huffed, checking her pockets for anything she might have. The girl found nothing but wanted to gift the man something. She closed her eyes while her right hand was shoved in her hoodie pocket and created a shard of jade stone. She presented it to him, flat in her palm. “Here, a token of my appreciation.” 

The man accepted it and opened his mouth as if he was going to comment on it. Before he could another man, closer to Jade’s sister’s age, stood next to him. “Hey, I know you’re trying to play hero but she’s safe. We have things to do.” 

The man who saved Jade nodded. “Thank you,” He stated, shaking the piece of jade that was in his hands to signify his gratitude. Jade simply nodded before she ran back to her stuff, surprised to see it had not been stolen by a thief. 

The moment she found her phone she called her sister. Her heart was still racing, and then a mix of fear and adrenaline made her legs weak. “Where are you?” Her voice was a whisper, and the moment Eliza replied with: “I’m at the gate c-19. Is that not yours?” 

“No,” The girl said, but as the syllables left her mouth so did a sob of fear. 

“Hey, what’s wrong? Where are you? I’ll be there as fast as I can.”

“I’m at “ Jade choked down another sob. “I’m at gate C-13. I wanna go home,” The girl cried, trying to hide in her hoodie. “Eliza, a man grabbed me.” 

“Oh my god,” Eliza gasped. In the background of the call, Jade could hear Eliza’s pace go from a brisk walk to a run. “I see you,” She replied quickly. 

Jade looked around before her eyes met Eliza’s. She felt a wave of warmth wash over her. It wasn’t natural, it was Eliza’s power soothing her. The two finally met, and Jade didn’t have time to hang up the call before Eliza’s arms were around her, her body heat matching the temperature of warmth that was soothed Jade meer seconds before. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry,” Eliza repeated. 

After the two calmed down, filed a police report with airport security and Gotham PD, and retrieved Jade’s bags, the two began their car ride to their home. Jade fell asleep in traffic, and Eliza pondered if the man trying to kidnap her sister was an omen to get her sister out of Gotham already.

[unwelcome-ozian]

Hello. I was wondering if you could help me understand how to help a survivor of the Family international (formerly children of god) who recently left the cult. More specifically the groups in the uk.

My siblings and I grew up in the cult and my sister and I managed to get away as teenagers. Now I could get one of my younger brothers to leave our family and live with me. I just want to make sure I do things right with him.

I went through years of being hospitalised and therapy to deal with the trauma and bipolar disorder. My sister was always the person who understood and supported me the most, which definitely helped me manage. She respectfully told me she doesn’t want to interact with our brother because it would be too triggering for her, which I understand. But I’m afraid I’m not as strong as her and am too unstable to really help my him.

I don’t remember most of my upbringing and only get into contact with it through flashbacks, so I can’t relate to the beliefs they planted inside his head.

If it helps, our family used to live in Scotland but we moved to Liverpool when I was very young. My parents were still involved in the cult and we moved around from time to time to “recruit” others. My sister and I left in ca 2012, I was born in 1999. My brother who’s now living with me is 18. Sorry if this is all to vague or if this is beyond what you do here. Thank you. -L

Hello.  I have thought a lot about your question.  If I understand correctly, the brother in question is living with you, or was at the time of your writing this note? If I am mistaken, please feel free to correct me.

It is difficult to say what your brother’s needs may be initially other than safety.  You may have to assess his safety need and come up with a plan to help him if there are any concerns in that area.  While you are focusing on providing safety and stability for the time being, it may be helpful for you to talk with your support people or build support for yourself that will help in encouraging you and helping you for when times are difficult with your brother.  Until you know what his needs are, relating with him with kindness, consistency and good boundaries, in such a way that he experiences safety in his relationship with you, will build trust and equity in your relationship.

 As you relate with him in ways that do not employ control tactics, with acceptance and patience, and interest in him as a person, it may create cognitive dissonance regarding some of his beliefs or patterns of relating, that may cause him to begin to open his mind to different ways of thinking thinking and experiencing life.  There may be some trauma responses that have already come to awareness.  You may be able to discuss ways that could help him feel safe and more in control when he starts to feel anxious or dysregulated.  It's possible that you will have the opportunity to engage in conversations that can bring healing. Or it may be the reliability of your presence that will still have a positive impact, even if you don’t know what it is until much later.  This is because it sometimes takes a really long time to believe the care that you are receiving isn't going to go away. He may not think he needs mental health help, and it may take him a bit of time out of that environment for him to know what he needs.  If he is open to seeking therapy, helping him find that kind of support may be helpful.  One thing that is important is that you let him lead the way in his own healing.  There are ways to help increase a person’s positive energy, which may be helpful, without a focus on healing.  If he enjoys fun or creative things, providing opportunities to just live and be playful may be good for his soul.

Lastly I would encourage you to have a priority of your own continued healing and growth.   Make sure that you can both experience compassion for him and at the same time still experience your own joy for other parts of your life.  This will help you to continue to be there for him for the long haul.

I recently posted a link to a website that had some educational resources for people getting out of cults.  I’ll post that again here.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.   I wish you and your brother well.

Sustainability is a buzzword that has become increasingly ubiquitous in the architecture and construction industry over the past few decades. Companies are touting their materials, projects, and initiatives as "sustainable," but behind the marketing, one must ask: is sustainability truly a core reality, or is it a convenient label for branding? To explore this question, we delve into the claims, practices, and standards that shape our understanding of sustainability and determine whether it is more than just a superficial trend. The Growth of the Sustainability Movement The rise of sustainability can be traced back to the environmental movements of the 1970s, gaining momentum with the United Nations' Brundtland Report in 1987, which defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. In the decades that followed, architects and developers began embracing green architecture as an essential practice. By the early 2000s, sustainable building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), launched by the U.S. Green Building Council, became the gold standard for evaluating the environmental credentials of projects. However, as sustainability became a trend, companies saw the potential for profit. Certification systems, like LEED, have been criticized for allowing projects to achieve certifications by focusing on checklist items that are often superficial. An example of this is the ability for a building to achieve points for having bike racks or installing water-saving fixtures, without addressing the broader systemic impacts of the building's construction and life cycle. Critics argue that the rise of these point-based certification systems has sometimes enabled a form of "greenwashing" where the perception of sustainability is achieved without a genuine commitment to meaningful environmental change. Marketing vs. Reality: Greenwashing and Its Impact Greenwashing refers to the practice of making exaggerated or false claims about the environmental benefits of a product, service, or project. Many companies have been found guilty of inflating their green credentials, often using phrases like "eco-friendly" or "low-impact" without providing substantial evidence. The construction industry is no exception. For example, certain cement companies claim to produce "green concrete," but research reveals that the carbon emissions involved in cement production remain significant, contributing roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions annually. Another common example can be found in the use of so-called "sustainable" building materials. Bamboo flooring, for instance, is often marketed as a sustainable alternative to hardwood due to bamboo's rapid growth cycle. However, the transportation of bamboo from Asia to markets in Europe and North America generates considerable carbon emissions, diminishing the material's overall environmental benefit. Such examples illustrate how companies selectively present information to appear more environmentally responsible than they genuinely are. https://www.instagram.com/p/DB9QUZoOFbP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Sustainability Metrics and Standards Despite these challenges, it is important to recognize that not all sustainability initiatives are mere marketing ploys. Organizations worldwide have developed metrics and standards to help guide sustainable practices. Beyond LEED, other certifications like BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), WELL Building Standard, and Green Globes also set frameworks for designing and evaluating environmentally responsible buildings. These systems address various factors, from energy efficiency to water conservation and even indoor air quality. For example, BREEAM, originally developed in the UK, emphasizes life cycle assessment (LCA), which provides a holistic overview of a building's sustainability by examining every phase from material sourcing to demolition. WELL, meanwhile, focuses on enhancing the human experience through air, water, light, and comfort standards, ensuring that sustainability isn't solely about environmental metrics but also about people. In 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that buildings account for almost 40% of global energy consumption, highlighting the significant opportunity for reducing carbon emissions in the built environment. This statistic underscores why such standards are vital genuine sustainability must extend beyond construction materials to include energy use, water consumption, and long-term building operation. Case Studies: Reality Behind Sustainable Claims The Bullitt Center in Seattle, USA, is often cited as the greenest commercial building in the world. Completed in 2013, it features rainwater harvesting, composting toilets, and energy production through solar panels. The building achieves net-zero energy, producing as much energy as it consumes, which sets a precedent for what is possible when genuine sustainability goals drive a project. On the other hand, The Walkie-Talkie building in London faced backlash for its "green" design, which included a sky garden and energy-efficient systems. Despite these features, the building's concave façade unintentionally concentrated sunlight, causing damage to cars and excessive heat at street level, leading many to criticize its actual impact. Such contrasts show how a well-meaning design with surface-level sustainable features can fall short if not holistically considered. Sustainability as a Tool for Profit: The Corporate Narrative It is undeniable that sustainability has become a valuable marketing tool, often leveraged to increase a company’s profitability and public perception. Consumers are increasingly inclined to support companies that prioritize the environment, creating a powerful incentive for brands to label themselves as green. According to a 2020 survey by IBM, nearly 60% of consumers reported that they were willing to change their purchasing habits to reduce environmental impact. Consequently, companies that market their products and buildings as "sustainable" often find it easier to attract investors and clients. This is not inherently negative incentivizing sustainable development through profit motives has led to significant advancements in green technologies and awareness. The danger lies in when the narrative of sustainability is adopted only as a superficial enhancement, rather than a commitment. For sustainability to move beyond marketing, there must be transparency in claims, verifiable metrics, and a genuine dedication to reducing the environmental impacts of buildings. The Future of Sustainability: Reality or Continued Marketing? Looking ahead, the hope is that as both consumers and policymakers become more informed, superficial sustainability claims will no longer suffice. Tools like Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and advances in blockchain technology for supply chain transparency might soon hold companies more accountable. Additionally, governments are increasingly introducing stricter regulations such as the European Union's Green Deal, which aims for all new buildings to be carbon-neutral by 2030. Such measures may reduce the prevalence of greenwashing and push for deeper, more authentic sustainable practices. Ultimately, the balance between genuine sustainability and marketing lies in accountability and transparency. True sustainability must not only focus on reducing the carbon footprint of a single material or checking off boxes on a certification list. Instead, it must incorporate a broader, systemic approach that genuinely considers environmental, social, and economic impacts throughout a building’s lifecycle. As awareness grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for companies to hide behind buzzwords without backing them up with action an evolution that gives us hope for a greener and more honest future in the construction and architecture industry. https://archup.net/transparency-aesthetics-architecture-en/ Read the full article
