The EU is working on rules to limit methane pollution from imported fossil fuels. Some EU leaders want to exempt US fossil fuels in hopes of avoiding a trade war with Trump. Silly. a) Making Europeans' electricity and heat dependent on the US is insane. b) Bending the knee to Trump won't work.

This is why demand-side solutions are so important: renewables are not replacing fossil fuels. They are both going up which means emissions are still going up. Phasing out fossil fuels is a much tougher sell when energy demand is rising.
