Peace is the only battle worth waging, said Albert Camus. To wage it we will need to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy and efficiency.

[Beyond Fossil Fuels @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social @Beyond_Fossils]

Today’s verdict ordering @greenpeaceusa @Greenpeace to pay $660 million to @EnergyTransfer is unacceptable and sets a dangerous precedent. #Fossilfuel corporations cannot and will not sue activists into submission. #ImWithGreenpeace

I feel like I am going to be sharing this chart a hell of a lot in the coming months.

This is a big day for renewables as well as an emotional one for all coal campaigners

Today, the UK closes its last coal-fired power plant, becoming the fifth European nation to go #BeyondCoal.

At the time of the London 2012 Olympics, coal generated 40% of the UK’s power. Tonight, it drops to zero, while #wind produces enough electricity to power 92% of UK homes.

[Alexandru Mustață @AlexandruMust]

Since the UK became the world’s first country to announce a #Coal phase-out, 22 European nations have followed suit:

✅ Five are now #BeyondCoal
⏳ The rest of Europe has five years catch up

🇩🇪🇵🇱🇧🇬 we're especially looking at you.

It's important for the Greek government to revise the country's NECP in order to introduce fossil gas retirement dates. The Green Tank's analysis quoted below explains why.

[The Green Tank @The_GreenTank]

New report 📣

How much lignite and #gas plant capacity did Greece require to meet its electricity needs from 2019 to 2024?

Ηοw does this compare to the currently installed gas capacity and the one planned for 2030?

"The next European Commission will be an investment commission.

In the first 100 days of the new mandate, I will propose a New Clean Industrial Deal.

One of its central goals will be to ensure access to cheap, clean energy."

It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to Professor Arthouros Zervos, who passed away last night. Over the past four years, Arthouros has offered his invaluable knowledge to our coalition.

We thank him for his warmth, drive and insight. Our thoughts are with his family.

Record low #EUETS emissions in Greece in 2023!
⚡️Emissions from lignite plants collapsed, but gas gained ground
🏭Small progress in industry
✈️Aviation emissions keep rising after 2020

With Hungary taking on the EU Presidency #HU24EU today, its approach to energy offers an opportunity for reflection. How can the new @EU_Commission accelerate the #CEE's #energy #transition?

Apparently @Newsweek is published in Victorian England since it reduces the top global artist to her marital & child status: “At 34, Swift remains unmarried and childless... But… it's crucial to consider what kind of example this sets for young girls” WTF https://t.co/v8p0o1wGhJ

“Energy communities are eager to harness solar power to cut energy bills, create jobs, & reduce air pollution. But they face hurdles due to big state-owned power companies, funding issues & regulatory barriers,” -@Michal_Zablocki, BFF

Poland doubled its solar capacity over the past 3 years, and energy communities love deploying solar. So why does Poland only have about 30 of the EU's 9,000 energy communities?

Let's dive in.

Grid plans based on outdated targets risk holding back Europe’s energy transition.

“Making sure #solar and #wind can actually connect to the system is as critical as the panels and turbines themselves,” says Ember analyst @E_Cremona

⚡️ Did you know that 10 EU nations committed to move their power systems away from #FossilFuels by 2035?
