The Iran War might end fossil fuel dependence — The world is poised to pivot to alternatives in a big way because its energy needs cannot be held hostage to the whims of a rogue president and a murderous regime https://t.co/7WFEBH3JWm #IranWar #FossilFuel #EnergyTransition #IR
"It's better to grow your own clean, cheap energy." 🌍 @DanJoergensen of @EU_Commission on why February 2022 changed Europe's calculus on fossil fuel dependence. Watch more from the @IEA Conference on Energy Efficiency on @WeDontHaveTime - July 6 & 7: https://t.co/nAp7jH64sW https://t.co/OcEZ551ltz #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #FossilFuelDependence #EU
"We have made ourselves far too dependent on fossil fuels, and that's why we have all these price spikes" 🌍 Annika Ramsköld, VP Corporate Sustainability at @VattenfallGroup , on why Europe's fossil fuel dependence is showing up as electricity price spikes — and why faster https://t.co/NRlGjUdEuw #FossilFuels #ElectricityPrices #Sustainability #EU
Dependence on imported fossil fuels leaves our economies exposed. And citizens are paying the price. Electrification turns dependence into resilience. We will soon table our proposal to boost electrification across Europe. And today's Leaders' Statement sets the course https://t.co/9Pd6a3uDYe #Electrification #EnergyIndependence #SustainableFuture #EU
For climate, this is the best of times & the worst of times. The worst – because climate impacts are intensifying & the energy crisis has exposed the deep risks of dependence on fossil fuels. The best – because the renewables revolution is well underway. We have the enormous https://t.co/jVKWM5RWMi #ClimateCrisis #RenewableEnergy #FossilFuels #Nocountrycodesfound.
China is actively undermining our economy and misusing global trade to its own advantage. We have already paid a high price for our dependence on Russia. We cannot repeat the same mistake now. #EUCO 3/3 #China #GlobalTrade #EconomicDependence #CN #RU
“The question every serious government is now asking is not, “how do we secure this chokepoint?” but, “how do we reduce our dependence on chokepoints altogether?”” https://t.co/4aMjwW4m0p via @gzero #Chokepoints #GlobalEconomy #DependencyReduction #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
In the latest The Econoclasts, Wolfgang and I focus on: (a) Germany’s shocking failure to be voted onto the UN Security Council and (b) how the United Kingdom has become a financial vassal completely trapped by its dependence on leveraged American capital https://t.co/SuKqmvggWJ #Econoclasts #Germany #UKFinance #DE #GB #US
Congratulations to @NikolPashinyan on his election victory. The people have voted for an independent #Armenia, for peace in the South Caucasus, and for closer ties with #Europe, not renewed dependence on #Russia. Now 🇪🇺 should stand firmly with🇦🇲 @EPPGroup @Europarl_EN @armenia https://t.co/MikRTuYr5j #Armenia #Europe #Russia #AM #EU #RU
Russian imperial influence has suffered a major setback in Armenia. Now it is up to Yerevan to take further steps to break free from dependence on Russia. #Armenia #Russia #Independence #AM #RU
2/2 We can’t rely on the US as peacemaker. 🇪🇺 must step up itself. 🇦🇲 needs real support to break free from its dependence on Russia. Azerbaijan must stop blocking the peace treaty. Turkey must follow through: the border must finally open. The worst outcome would be indifference. #PeaceInArmenia #EULeadership #AzerbaijanTurkeyRelations #US #EU #AM #RU #AZ #TR
“Over the past five decades, the U.S. has shifted from heavy oil dependence to becoming a net exporter of petroleum, fundamentally altering its exposure to global oil market disruptions”. https://t.co/Xx8EpcjlqP #OilIndependence #NetExporter #EnergyTransition #US
🇱🇹 A new Euronews article highlights Lithuania’s rapid shift from energy dependence to resilience. In five years, renewables rose from 15% to 50% of consumption, while solar and wind covered 84% of demand in April, driving the country toward 100% green power by 2028. https://t.co/77TYDRMcdo #Lithuania #RenewableEnergy #GreenPower #LT

Following pressure from @EPPGroup and farming organisations, @EU_Commission has proposed suspending customs duties on key nitrogen-based fertilisers for one year. This is an important first step to strengthen food security and cut dependence on external suppliers. @Europarl_EN https://t.co/Bd6MQcM2gZ #FoodSecurity #NitrogenFertilizers #EUAgriculture #EU

We need to move away from unhealthy, excessive dependence on one ally and move towards a fairer distribution of responsibility for our collective security.
Rutte calling Trump’s planned US cuts to NATO’s crisis response forces 'structured' and 'business as usual' is managerial delusion. Neither endless European dependence nor erratic US withdrawal is sustainable. Both sides own this mess. #NATO #USForeignPolicy #EuropeanSecurity #US #NL
How long can we go on like this? (translated)
The article discusses the complex and asymmetrical partnership between China and Russia, highlighting President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin's camaraderie amid growing dependence, especially in trade and technology, as Russia copes with Western sanctions, while also emphasizing China's cautious approach to avoid provoking Moscow's sensitivities regarding their bilateral dynamics. #ChinaRussiaRelations #Geopolitics #StrategicPartnership
