Letter: Timely reminder of the real cost of growth in our post-opposition age

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.

THANK YOU for encouraging a spirit of dissent in our post-opposition society ('Is today really so much better?', 3 January). You might even embolden the likes of John Smith and Paddy Ashdown.

The article could not have been more timely, coming as it did only days before the latest oil- spill disaster, an event that has given particular resonance to David Nicholson-Lord's point: 'Society is being forced to use more of the gains of growth to put right the costs of growth.'
