Even casual followers of energy and climate issues have probably heard about the alleged wonders of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). This is due in no small part to the “ nuclear bros ”: an active and seemingly tireless group of nuclear power advocates who dominate social media discussions on energy by promoting SMRs and other “advanced” nuclear technologies as the only real solution for the climate crisis.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made headlines when a Super PAC supporting his presidential bid ran a pricey Super Bowl ad, stealing the look of a famous 1960 spot for his uncle John F. Kennedy. But he got far less attention for another move that says a lot about his campaign: He has tapped Del Bigtree to run his communications team. Bigtree, like RFK Jr., is a well-known anti-vaccine activist.

York1 Environmental Solutions is proposing a dump site that could result in up to 700 dump trucks, filled with construction and demolition waste, rolling through the small town of Dresden, Ontario every single day. This proposed landfill continues a trend of making rural Ontario a convenient dumping ground for urban communities. The riding of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex already has two major landfills, Ridge Landfill and Watford and Twin Creek Landfill, that take over 3 million tonnes of garbage from
