Hungary and Slovakia must quit Russian gas and nuclear, Trump envoy warns “The more we can strangle Russia’s ability to fund this murderous war, the better for all of us,” says U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Hungary & Slovakia (the whole EU too) should *definitely* stop buying Russian fossil fuels & nuclear fuel

But just replacing these with fuels from the US is a disaster

Instead, investments in more renewables and energy savings will cut pollution and people's bills, all while defunding Putin's war

"There is no way out of the climate crisis without solar. There should be a community-centered approach, genuine engagement and fair benefits sharing & nature-friendly planning and development"

Germany drops opposition to nuclear power in rapprochement with France Paris wins approval from Berlin to remove anti-nuclear bias in EU legislation, say officials

Germany will be pragmatic on nuclear. Yes, let’s be pragmatic. New #nuclear is too slow and too expensive, it will further delay the energy transition. Real pragmatism means accelerating #solar #wind and investing in #grids, #energyefficiency, #flexibility with demand side response and #storage.

YIMBY: Are community benefits the secret to Europe’s green transition? Most Europeans support the shift to renewable energy, but translating that into support for actual projects on the ground isn’t easy.

Can community engagement and benefit sharing create real support for #renewables? Yes and it must! It’s time to move from scattered good practices to #EU wide common standards. #Energysky

This week, blackouts affected Spain and Portugal.

Real energy security: break free from gas - Greenpeace European Unit The European Union imports almost 60% of the energy it consumes – the vast majority of those imports are fossil fuels. In particular, Europe is currently highly dependent on fossil…

Real energy security means an end to fossil fuel dependence, and here's how to do it:

💸 Tax oil and gas companies to fund the transition

🏠 Save energy with renovations

🌞 Double EU renewables by 2030

📉 Plan to phase out gas by 2035

🚫 Ban new fossil fuel projects now

#StopFossilGas

Spain hits first weekday of 100% renewable power on national grid Spain’s grid ran entirely on renewable energy for the first time on April 16, with wind, solar, and hydro meeting all peninsular electricity demand during a weekday. Five days later, solar set a new r...

🥳 A Historic Milestone for #Spain: 100% Renewable Electricity

📍 On April 16, Spain made history. For the first time ever, #renewable energy sources fully met electricity demand, and on a weekday!

🌬️#Wind led the charge☀️#solar continue breaking records

A renewable future is already here #Energysky

To speed up the #renewableenergy transition, we must make it fair, with communities at the heart.💚🌬️☀️⚡

What do fairness & community benefits mean in #solar, #wind & #grid projects - and how do we make them real?
