Dr. @StefniB challenges the notion of gas as a "panic fuel", emphasising its lack of cleanliness. She advocates for renewable energy as a cost-effective and rapid solution to fuelling energy needs. However, Dr. Borchardt highlights the importance of acknowledging the implications of achieving a just energy transition. Let's prioritise cleaner, sustainable energy sources while ensuring equitable outcomes for all. #RenewableEnergy #JustTransition #CleanEnergy
