Read MoreHochul’s choice: Bought by the nuclear industry?
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is either in the pocket of the nuclear power industry or woefully ignorant about the technology itself. We suspect the former since there is ample empirical data to show that the choice she has made — to build a new nuclear power plant in New York State — is the…

From Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament: The announcement by the British government from the NATO summit that it will be purchasing 12 nuclear capable F35A fighter jets is yet another disastrous decision by the Starmer government, that makes the world more dangerous and puts the British population on the nuclear frontline.

Read MoreGolden Dome spells doom for US taxpayers and world peace
The Golden Dome for America, announced with much grandiosity by the Trump White House and price tag $175 billion in taxpayer money, is just another reboot of a longstanding and failed missile defense program. Far from keeping Americans safe, it threatens to trigger another nuclear arms race and risks war in space. Prior iterations have…
