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.

LIKE John Broome and his failed project for Battersea power station, the ceramic tile millionaire Eddie Quiligotti is having to eat humble pie over plans to redevelop Huncoat power station, near Accrington,Lancashire.

His plans for the 300-acre site included year-round summer and winter 'worlds' inside temperature-controlled glass structures. It was to have cost pounds 300m to build, but backers were hard to find. Last week, it was scrapped. Back to the drawing board - and no more disused power stations.
