@ChristianOnRE Justifying investing in nuclear is becoming difficult all over the world. But quickly (few years) replacing nuclear with renewables is not an easy task. Something in the middle might prove to be better.

Which real alternatives France has to nuclear power for firm electricity generation to replace the older reactors... without increasing (local) emissions?

[Christian Breyer 🦣 @ChristianOnRE]

France asks EDF to prepare to build 6 EPR reactors in 15 years -Le... https://t.co/0zbeiW065S - seems that France is a super rich country, given the huge cost of that luxury technology with cost of 100-120 €/MWh

12 MW per turbine! Quite unthinkable till few years ago

A just #EnergyTransition is needed. All social impacts need to be addressed.

[Joanna Flisowska @j_flisowska]

At today #CoalRegions Zbigniew Stepniewski from #ZEPAK says company will close its lignite #coal plants by 2030 the latest. Utility rightly recognises that #JustTransition starts with commitment to the #EnergyTransition #BeyondCoal. But support for the local economy is needed

[Global Energy Facts @GEFEnergy]

@ChristianOnRE #EnergyTransition shall definitely be a priority of EU countries when it comes to the power sector agenda. But replacing GWs of nuclear with renewables in few years still remains tricky under the technical and social perspectives. Also the economics are’t totally favourable yet.

[Global Energy Facts @GEFEnergy]

@ChristianOnRE “Just” renewables to cope with a sharp and close-by (2025) nuclear (partial) phase out? A complete rethinking and reshaping of the French power system. #EnergyTransition needs to be carefully planned with due advance

@TimmermansEU @vonderleyen @vestager @VDombrovskis @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN @EUinNL @Europarl_NL We'll see if the mechanisms for monitoring and compliance at national level will be sufficient

@SmartEnergyGB We should always remember that the greener energy is the one that is not produced, sold or consumed!

Final turbine installed at world’s largest offshore wind farm (1.2 GW = 174 7-MW turbines)

Project concluded "on time and within budget"

Will power 1 million homes

Great news! What’s worse than planned obsolescence and fast consumption? Products should also be easily disassembled for repairing and recycling. This is all about material, and, as always, energy efficiency. We pay what we waste.

[Marine Cornelis 🇪🇺 @marinenextenerg.bsky.social @MarineCornelis]

For the first time the measures include requirements for repairability and recyclability, contributing to #CircularEconomy objectives by improving the life span, maintenance, re-use, upgrade, recyclability and waste handling of appliances
#EnergyEfficiencyFirst

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

What started with coal now needs to happen with natural gas. Fossil fuels need to be phased out across Europe if we take the climate targets seriously. Good piece by @jonathangaventa @FactFisching @e3g @eaEnergyEU @EURACTIV https://t.co/IVSdV0e0r9

Long-haul shipping face most of the same hard-to-electrify challenges of long-haul aviation, but where are the calls to be #ShippingLess akin to those about #FlyingLess ?

[Global Energy Facts @GEFEnergy]

@dave0dave0 Totally agreee. The #energytransition and all energy policies MUST take into account the social aspects. No future without fairness and inclusiveness.

@SissiBellomo @sole24ore È il principio della fine, quantomeno del rallentamento, del boom americano?

#Petrolio, la produzione #Usa adesso diminuisce. Da tre mesi. E a luglio è scesa sotto 12 milioni di barili al giorno. Colpa degli uragani, ma non solo... https://t.co/C9GVUUTN87 via @sole24ore #OOTT #shale

What do you think?

[The Energy Transition Blog @EnergiewendeGER]

Remember the project where e-trucks charge from overhead lines on the autobahn? Only two of the five trucks are even ready, and Germans readers here think idea is stupid, prefer rail https://t.co/V8WEVmkyF1

[Global Energy Facts @GEFEnergy]

@MahiSide Europe has the opportunity to be the leading star in the #energytransition play. How can the #EU expect a soon to happen end-of-coal in places like India or in the South East Asia? Acting and supporting R&D will pave the way to a long term worldwide change of pace.

[Global Energy Facts @GEFEnergy]

@duncancampbell We believe that changing the status quo is a long term matter. Building the energy system of the future is a long term plan. And Today’s or near term costs/prices are not enough to change long term investments.
