Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Nuclear power would give us so much energy that we would not need a meter in the house; the Titanic was unsinkable; and DDT was the new wonder chemical that would wipe out nasty insects for good.
You would have thought, at the end of the century of technological innovation, that our scientists would have learned to be more cautious. Not one bit. Clever at chemistry and biology they might be, but history was clearly a subject they dropped at a very early age.
