EU may miss renewable targets
5m
The European Union is projected to miss its 2030 renewable-power targets, with renewables supplying 63.7% of generation as gas remains in the mix longer than expected, Wood Mackenzie forecast.

@bruegel.org has a new working paper showing that the proposed EU budget is woefully inadequate to ensure needed investment in projects that clearly have the character of European public goods.

Now recall that "frugals" want to appreciably cut that budget. 🙈

Absolutely! Same thing with power generation. All over the globe we see a rapid rise in renewable energy and electric vehicles, except the US. But our delays are political, not technological. And the US, no matter its size, can’t stop these advancements from taking place (albeit slower)

Energy prices are going up AGAIN – this time by an average of £276.
But we don’t have to accept a future of permanently rising bills.
This government can stop prices spiraling – here’s how 🧵
