Save Energy to Stop Russian Agression

#EU news & updates on #energyefficiency, #energylabel, #EUecodesign and other legislation and policies to save energy, protect climate & cut fossil fuel imports

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline

Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”

He posted this without irony.

For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.

We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.

At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.

Trump has the internet. He chose this.

Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russia destroyed the Kakhovka dam. Towns flooded. Civilians died. Homes, farms, animals, and whole ecosystems were destroyed.

[NXT EU @NXT4EU]

Research suggests that every €1 invested in wind energy delivers €7 annually for the European economy.

This is due to the compounding effects of not having to import energy, leading to faster growth.

russia bombed Kyiv's sleeping civilians for five hours. russia wants to terrorise a peaceful population into submission.

Why do we let them?

Close the skies. Use their assets to arm Ukraine. Stop buying their energy. Isolate them from the world. Come on

[RazomWeStand 🇺🇦 @RazomWeStand]

We welcome the UK’s new ban on maritime services for Russian #LNG, an important step in support of Ukraine.

But the Sakhalin-2 exemption until 2027 remains unjustified. It has nothing to do with European #energy security and will continue funding Russia’s war budget.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

- Ireland is exporting raw materials directly to russias war machine

- The UK is easing sanctions on russian oil

- EU still imports russian LNG

Europe is bankrolling the invasion of its own continent, selling their future for cheap energy. Spineless.

[Lithuania MFA 🇱🇹 | #StandWithUkraine @LithuaniaMFA]

Lithuania became stronger by ending its dependence on Russian energy. Europe can do the same – freedom begins with getting rid of dependencies.

FM @BudrysKestutis spoke with @NZZ on security, deterrence and Europe’s need to act geopolitically.

Another horrific scene from Ukraine.

Today, russia struck the Sloviansk thermal power plant, hitting the facility’s vehicle depot and killing workers.

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

⚡️Russia is now targeting Poland's water infrastructure after launching series of cyberattacks on the nation's energy grid.

BREAKING: Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is burning. Over 1,200 hectares of forest already destroyed.

russian Shahed drones, drought, hurricane-force winds, and russian mines left since 2022 turned firefighting into hell.

This is not a wildfire.

This is russian ecocide.

🔥 russian Refinery Hitlist.

The best sanctions come with Ukrainian wings.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

The Kremlin’s war machine is running out of steam.

As our sanctions take hold, we see a regime retreating behind a digital Iron Curtain to hide the truth about its failing economy.

But history has a lesson: no matter how high the wall, it eventually falls.

Our 20th package ramps up the pressure ↓

Russia’s aging "shadow fleet" of uninsured oil tankers is threatening a global environmental catastrophe as massive spills go unpunished.

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

Prominent Russian environmental activist Yevgenia Chirikova hits the nail on the head.

"'Ecological catastrophe in Tuapse is a Ukrainian war crime,' I was deeply surprised and frustrated to hear that from an environmentalist with whom I once defended nature together.

No. Russia's oil ports are legitimate military targets, and the more russian oil is destroyed, the more Ukrainian children will survive."

Bravo, Yevgenia.

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

⚡️ Aging and uninsured shadow fleet tankers are risking massive oil spills across global shipping routes while moving sanctioned Russian crude.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Russia is turning Ukrainian nuclear facilities into weapons of war against Ukraine and Europe.

Russia invaded and occupied the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 2022, putting the Exclusion Zone and its critical systems at risk.

In 2025, a Russian Shahed drone struck the New Safe Confinement of the Chornobyl NPP, damaging the protective structure over the destroyed reactor.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remains under temporary Russian occupation since 2022. Russia located military equipment and weapons on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, turning Europe’s largest nuclear facility into a military asset.

These actions show a clear pattern of nuclear blackmail. This cannot continue. Russia must be stopped and held accountable. #Chornobyl40

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

Russia’s war has triggered a large-scale ecocide whose consequences will last for decades.

Destroyed ecosystems, poisoned land and water, mass mining, and ongoing radiation risks threaten not only Ukraine, but environmental security far beyond its borders.

[Kostya K @Kostiantyn1024]

Everyone who is currently concerned about the environment in Tuapse needs to answer simple questions: Were you concerned when Russia killed EVERYTHING living in the Seim River? When Russia blew up the dam in Kakhovka?

If the answer is "no" - don't bother me, please.

[Energy4Europe 🇪🇺 @Energy4Europe]

In 2024, the EU produced 43% of its own energy, while 57% was imported ⚡️

Learn about EU's energy production vs. the energy imports, and why transitioning away from fossil fuels towards homegrown #renewables strengthens our #EnergySecurity.

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

We must not stop talking about Rosatom. It still commits nuclear terrorism at the occupied Zaporizhzhia power plant. It still earns money for the russian war machine. It still builds new projects internationally.

Why wasn't Rosatom ever sanctioned?
