August 7, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, BreakThrough News. Resist! Energy, Environment, Kenya, Nuclear Power

Opposition to Kenya’s proposed nuclear power plant in Siaya County has intensified after community activists and residents protesting the project were arrested and investigated under terrorism-related allegations, prompting accusations of state repression from civil society organizations and progressive groups. The controversy centers on the government’s plan to construct what officials describe as Kenya’s first commercial nuclear power plant in Central Sakwa, Siaya County, on the shores of Lake Victoria. The project is estimated to cost approximately KSh500 billion.

Nuclear Watchdog Sues For Plutonium Pit Production ‘Special Study’

Santa Fe, NM – Nuclear Watch New Mexico has sued the Department of Energy under the Freedom of Information Act for its Special Study of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Leadership and Management of the Plutonium Pit Production Mission. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is the semi-autonomous nuclear weapons agency within DOE. Plutonium “pits” are the radioactive cores or “triggers” of nuclear weapons. Their expanded manufacturing has been the chokepoint of resumed industrial-scale nuclear weapons production by the U.S.

Six Ways Advocates Can Practice Solidarity For Environmental Justice

“People are scared,” remarks the executive director of a grassroots environmental group in Southern California. Her group, like many others, engaged in self-reflection following the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. They made substantial changes through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and developed new partnerships with community leaders. Recently, a longtime volunteer approached the executive director to urge that she stop talking about their organizational DEI work. While her organization isn’t pulling back on such work, she told us about other organizations who have removed DEI work from websites or learned that grants for such work have been cancelled.

In Defense Of Interspecies Flow

July 19, 2026 Naomi McKenna, Intercontinental Cry. Resist! Biodiversity, Ecuador, Environment, Sea Turtles

Sea turtles always return to the beaches where they are born to nest. Hawksbill and Olive Ridley sea turtles have nested on the beaches of Manglaralto, Ecuador, for over 120 million years. Once born, they travel the Pacific ocean for about twenty years before returning to lay eggs when nesting season arrives. They have repeated this cycle for more than two million generations. Maybe this is why turtles hold a special importance in origin stories of Turtle Island, helping Sky Woman to form the world on the back of a turtle shell. Homo sapiens, in turn, are a biological newcomer who originated only 300 thousand years ago.

In Athens, Albania’s Diaspora Watches A Revolt At Home

People have taken to the streets in Albania for over a month now. What started as a protest about environmental concerns and a luxury resort tied to President Trump’s son-in-law has turned into a mass movement against the government, with people demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister Edi Rama. The story begins with a development plan for the Vjosa-Narta lagoon, a protected wetland on Albania’s Adriatic coast, and the nearby uninhabited island of Sazan, once a secret Soviet-era military base, now eyed as the site of a luxury tourism complex.

Food Waste Isn’t Just About What We Throw Away

Back in June, I arrived at the 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit expecting conversations centered on food recovery, diversion strategies, and emerging technologies. Those conversations happened. But I left thinking about something much larger. Across discussions on policy, technology, supply chains, and community partnerships, a different pattern emerged: food waste rarely appeared as an isolated issue. Instead, it surfaced as a signal of deeper system failures and missed connections. The more I listened, the harder it became to think of food waste as simply a waste problem.

Albania ‘Flamingo Revolution’ Protests Gain Pace

Protests against a luxury resort being built on vital wetlands in Albania are now well into their third week – and they’ve attracted the ire of Albanian PM Edi Rama. He denounced the opponents of the Trump-family-linked project as exhibiting a “fascist mentality”, and denied the building works’ massive environmental impacts. On 3 June, the Canary reported on the anger against building works in the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape and the island of Sazan. At the time, the protests had lasted for three days. Now, however, the so-called ‘Flamingo Revolution’ has built momentum into a wider critique of Rama’s leadership.

Community Mobilizes After Trump Announces $75 Million For Coal Terminal

Oakland, California—Community environmental groups are intensifying efforts to organize resistance after President Donald Trump announced last week that the federal government will invest $700 million to boost the coal industry in the U.S., including $75 million to build the long-delayed West Oakland Coal Terminal. In remarks last Thursday at a press conference at the White House, Trump relied on an old law, the Defense Production Act, as the basis for the investment, with the bulk of the money—$425 million—going to support 13 existing coal plants across the country.

Western New York Resists Mega-Data Center Plan

As state legislators in Albany are pushing to pass a moratorium on new data centers, a coalition of Western New York residents, the federally recognized Tonawanda Seneca Nation, and other organizations are fighting against a proposal for the largest data center in the state. Stream U.S. Data Center is seeking to construct a 2.2 million-square-foot data-center complex near Alabama, a town of about 1,800 people halfway between Rochester and Buffalo. It would be on land directly adjacent to the Tonawanda Seneca reservation territory and several publicly owned land and wildlife refuges.

Hot Springs, SD — A scheduled hearing was halted after opponents against a proposed uranium drilling project in the Black Hills of South Dakota filed a lawsuit in federal court on May 20. The lawsuit is centered around the state providing Lakota language translation services during a public hearing regarding a uranium mining project near a sacred site in the southern Black Hills. Plaintiffs are asking for the federal government to direct the state of South Dakota to provide interpretation and translation services in the Lakota language during the hearing.

The Battle Of Socorro, New Mexico And Uprising Against AI Data Centers

June 11, 2026 Kent Paterson, Counter Punch. Resist! Artificial Intelligence, Data Centers, Environment, New Mexico, Water

If there is any place on the map that captures the depth of the global revolt over AI data centers, it might well be little Socorro County, New Mexico. Located astride the Rio Grande and almost smack dab in the center of New Mexico, at first glance, rural Socorro County seems an unlikely center for the rebellion. But at a May town hall, matters of environment and climate change, gaping economic inequality and creeping oligarchy, local land use, legacies of the nuclear weapons age and space exploration, democratic governance and transparency, and then some all boiled over in a lively, memorable meeting fit for the history books.

Protests Tell Megarich: Albania Not For Sale!

A major coastal development project on the protected island of Sazan and the Zvërnec Peninsula — spearheaded by Affinity Partners, an investment firm linked to President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka Trump — has sparked daily waves of widespread protests in Tirana, the capital. More than 6,000 elaborate villas and accompanying luxury infrastructure for the superrich are projected. The developers estimate the enormous project will exceed €4 billion ($4.6 billion). (tinyurl.com/vc3cx4ft) The mass demonstrations and the government repression, caught on videos of bulldozers, barbed-wire fences and security guards dragging protesters across the sand, may have a far-reaching impact.

Tens Of thousands Of Albanians Protest Against ‘Kushner Island’

Tens of thousands of Albanians took to the streets on 4 June to protest the impending destruction of Sazan Island and its ecologically sensitive surrounding coastline to make way for a $1.6-billion luxury resort project led by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump – the son-in-law and daughter of US President Donald Trump. Construction on the 1,400-hectare Mediterranean project, which includes Albania’s only island, is reportedly already underway, as protestors denounce the land grab as an embodiment of foreign overreach and government corruption.

On Thursday, May 21, a 34,000-gallon storage tank carrying a highly toxic and flammable chemical, methyl methacrylate, overheated at the GKN Aerospace facility in the middle of a predominantly working-class Garden Grove neighborhood. The overheating tank released toxic chemicals into the air, creating a serious risk of explosion and forcing over 50,000 residents to evacuate. GKN Aerospace’s chemical crisis has resulted in evacuations in Garden Grove, Stanton, Westminster, Cypress, and Buena Park, forced dozens of school closures, and disrupted hundreds of businesses.

The Abundance Movement’s Deregulatory Deceit

May 25, 2026 Maya K. Van Rossum, Common Dreams. Educate! Abundance Movement, Deregulation, Environment, State Legislatures

The nation’s halting and uneven clean energy rollout—exacerbated by President Donald Trump’s hostility to anything green—threatens our prosperity, our climate, and our communities. Left unchecked, rising temperatures—driven largely by fossil fuels and the industries that burn them—will destroy ecosystems, disrupt our economy, and destabilize our society. Some opportunistic politicians think they have a solution in the latest media fad, the so-called “Abundance” movement. They argue that the rules and regulations put in place to protect the environment are in fact obstacles impeding our ability to build the clean energy our climate needs.
