Als de Europese ministers aan de NAVO tafel vandaag niet eensgezind en unaniem zeggen: dit gaat over het lot van een Europees land, daarover kan alleen samen met ons worden onderhandeld, dan zit Europa niet aan tafel, maar staat het op de menukaart van Poetin.

Europe's electricity production is becoming low carbon at impressive rates. We hit 47.4% renewables in 2024. Together with 23.7% nuclear this leaves only 28.9% fossil fuel based production 🎉 Next up: accelerate electrification of heat in buildings and industry make most of this clean electricity.

Not very smart. It is getting harder to navigate in this world. We need more diplomats, not fewer. But remember: it is the member states who decide on the European budget, not the Commission. In previous years, they have reduced the EEAS budget

We talk a lot about decarbonising heating. Let's not forget about cooling 🧊. European countries cooling needs will surge in a 2C scenario vs. 1.5C; (sadly, again sub-saharan countries will suffer most).

Germany has a crazy approach for charging industrial customers for their electricity network use: Constant demand is rewarded with a discount. Flexibility is penalised. This is not compatible with a modern zero emissions power system. More here 👇 www.euractiv.com/section/eet/...
