🔌💡⚡ EU energy ministers gather to tackle the energy crisis; while many measures might be discussed, the root cause lingers: for Europe to establish its energy independence, it is necessary to ensure decarbonised, renewable, and affordable solutions for households across Europe.

(1/9) Can the EU be seen as more legitimate through procedural reforms? The lead candidate system for president of the European Commission was one such attempt.
In a new article, @acgoldberg.bsky.social, @pieterdewilde.bsky.social and I have sobering results:

Where are the uproar in EUrope? We still act like they are our allies and benefit from our trade...
I'm lost for words. This is beyond sick.

Conservative governments refuse to implement legislation because “markets must decide”, but their allies in the #EP sabotage the only market mechanism for home decarbonisation and supporting vulnerable households.

European Parliament shadows in the ENVI committee secretly reached a deal before their colleagues had even finished drafting... 🧵👇

🎯💯 While this has been clear to many Europeans outside governing circles, its now also begins to permeate governments.
The US is a rouge state, & the only thing that can stand against it, is the EU. Thats a rewiring of EUropean security & policy.

are rogue nuclear armed states.
We all know what is really going on.
Time to decouple from them and treat them as we do Russia for the same transgressions.

"We get smartest and greenest through the new looming energy crisis by targeting help to those who absolutely need it most. And remember who's making off the crisis." says Laurence Tubiana in an interview with a Danish paper.

First time green mayor in Munich. CDU wins Rhineland-Palatinate #DEinEU

Democracy everywhere... #EUsky
Potzblitz, as we say in German...
This is less a surprise than a pattern. The real question is why the EU still tolerates this behaviour at summit level. #strategiccorruption #HUinEU #EUSky
That should be the test for the Chancellery de-brief: not only whether the summit set the right priorities, but whether Germany is ready to back the institutional changes needed to make those priorities stick. Europe’s credibility depends on implementation, not rhetoric. #EuSky
Berlin has used the right language on European unity. The next step is to match that with a credible reform agenda: stronger decision-making capacity, firmer democratic legitimacy and institutions that are better equipped for sustained geopolitical pressure. #DEinEU #EuSky #futureEU
The Single Market is a good case in point. “One Europe, one market” is the right direction of travel. But delivery will require proper institutional buy-in from Council, Commission & Parliament - and less gold-plating and administrative drag in national implementation, including DE. #DEinEU #EuSky
Ahead of our @netzwerk-ebd.de de-brief with the Fed Chancellery, the real question is institutional. Europe’s problem is a lack of instruments. Too often, it is the difficulty of converting political intent into timely collective decisions. That is where the reform pressure now sits. #EuSky
Monday 08:30 pm, #EBDanalyse Post- #EUCO, the message is clear: the summit put the right issues on the table - Ukraine, defence, the Single Market, energy and resilience. That matters. In the current climate, competitiveness and security can no longer be treated as separate policy silos. #EuSky
Lastly, the data for many of the climate science factors show that we may be further down the climate crisis than we thought. Biomass & CSS is dead.
So we have less time to act, & needs all hands on deck for reducing co2 emissions.
Thx for comming to my ted talk.

Why are EU doing Trumps and US bidding still in an attack on EU social, environmental and climate legislation?
#EUsky
Of course she does, closest ideological ally in Europe, talked about that just after the Italian general election at Sussex #EUsky it’s a balancing act between von der Leyen and her Hungarian friend.
"Europe’s industrial base is having a bit of a split-screen moment. On one side: chemicals, metals and other energy-guzzling stalwarts. On the other: weapons, planes and anything with a defence budget attached."
Wow, wonder which side is aggressively calling for public money and deregulation #EUsky
🇪🇸🇫🇷🇩🇰 seems to be the ones who stand up to Merzoni and von der Leyen appeasement of Trump. This is the way.

In the week since this @martinsandbu.ft.com piece, lobbying by challenged incumbents has (mostly) stalled. Two industry associations can't speak for "industry" when claiming that "competitiveness" requires turning back the clock to their glory days #EUSky 🔌💡 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

👉 #Nuclear Alliance: the EU must not limit itself to small reactor projects SMRs.
Agree! Both US & China are scaling up big boring reactors, so EU needs to join. The high prices & long build times can be brought down w same w did for sun & wind energy.
Both for climate & energy security.
