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.From Mr F. J. Kean
Sir: I saw a diesel London black cab last week advertising itself as powered by Natural Gas. It occurred to me that if a hard-nosed London cab driver can be persuaded to convert his taxi, British Gas could do worse than to consider combining parts of its transport and advertising budgets and invest in a similar conversion programme for its vehicle fleet. An initiative such as this might just allow it to claim some environmental bonus points and gain some good publicity into the bargain.
And if that works, how about steam- and electrically-powered transport fleets for the water and electricity authorities?
Yours sincerely,
