As a great TV show once said:
"The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?"

[Fabio Parola @FabParola]

@yarotrof Meloni too

[Fabio Parola @FabParola]

Is power generation becoming a regulated business? 🤔

Strong emphasis in the Draghi report on ways to stabilize prices (CfDs, PPAs). Public authorities will have final say in setting final prices and thus investment framework

Strong dialogue with stakeholders will be key 🤝

[Anna Hubert 🇪🇺 @AnnaHbrt]

What does the Draghi's report says about Energy ?🧵
↪️https://t.co/LMhkU3iTWo

"We need a plan aiming at decoupling the price of fossil fuels energy from clean energy sources" just said Mr Draghi

One of his main proposals : A joint decarbonisation and competitiveness plan

@spignal Although vote by secret ballot may solve this for Meloni...

[Fabio Parola @FabParola]

@spignal Maybe, but there remains the fact that Meloni is chairing the ECR party. Supporting VdL'd be politically hard to justify... unless she relinquishes the ECR presidency in the name of presenting herself as a responsible stateswoman in EUCO. What do you think?

Clear carbon pricing & effective market design incentivize clean tech and drive decarbonization

The energy sector is showing the way: -24% emissions yoy 🎇

Time for others (🚜) to follow?

🇺🇦🇷🇺 "Ma com'è che la Russia non è ancora fallita malgrado le sanzioni occidentali?".

Be', parliamone.
Invadendo l'Ucraina, la Russia si è autosabotata.
Ha compromesso il suo futuro, per finanziare una guerra inutile e sanguinaria.

Un thread.🧵

@dieworkwear No "formality gap" there to bridge/be mindful of?

we live in complex times, it's ok to be confused

I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/

EU commissioner @ThierryBreton says at a defense conference in Brussels there will eventually be a need for a European aircraft carrier.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

not that you should take it literally, but...

Grids, grids and again grids… ⚡️
“You want #renewables? You need the grid…
You want solar ☀️? You need the grid….
You want electric cars ⚡️ 🚙 ? You need the grid…”
You want heat pumps? You need the grid…”
Grids is one of biggest blind spot of the global #energy sector‼️

[Fabio Parola @FabParola]

It's not EU law if you don't need to stop halfway to breathe while reading the title 🥵

Otherwise, it's just a sparkling international agreement
