Austria has the potential to reduce its dependence on fossil imports by producing more biogas, but despite the investments from many companies, political support is still lacking, leading to serious existential issues for the operators. #Biogas #Energieunabhängigkeit #Österreich (translated)
The author said a recent report presented the facts behind the Digger story and examined what they described as a fossil fuel industry campaign to cast doubt on human-caused global warming. They recommended watching the film and reading the report.
Airlines regret the lack of green solutions to replace kerosene, as less than 1% of their fuel is from non-fossil sources, and high fuel prices persist, thus hindering the transition to sustainable aviation. #AviationDurable #CarburantsAlternatifs #TransitionÉnergétique (translated)
Under the traffic light, a renewable turbo was decided in 2022, which created a boom in renewables and heat pumps in the following years. Under Merz & Reiche, barricades are being built against renewables that will cause us great pain in a few years – the fossil shock will be significant. (translated)
Now, in Berlin, the only sensible thing happened from a social perspective among all options, and we can therefore expect that the fossil far-right media swamp will explode and try to bury the red-red-green coalition negotiations under mountains of filth. (translated)
The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)
As part of the so-called green gas quota, operators will also be allowed to mix blue hydrogen into the gas network, meaning hydrogen that is obtained from fossil natural gas - at a high energy cost. And that basically says everything about the absurd energy policy of this government. (translated)
According to Statistics Austria, fossil CO2 emissions in Austria fell by 4.3 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year, with the decrease in private households at 4.7 percent being stronger than that in the economy (4.2 percent), and overall emissions have decreased by 27 percent since 2008, which is attributed to long-term changes and not just cyclical developments. #CO2Emissionen #Klimaschutz #Umweltschutz (translated)
Just as fossil fuel companies and their cronies sow doubt about scientific knowledge on climate change in order to prevent the development of non-fossil fuel resources, they’re doing the same thing now to climate attribution science to avoid accountability for climate damage. Pay attention!
France and Germany have agreed on a strategy for the automotive industry aimed at loosening the EU's goal of phasing out fossil fuel-powered cars by 2035. #bilindustri #EU #fossildrivna (translated)
According to the International Monetary Fund, renewables have helped mitigate the costs of the energy shock in Europe, making it essential to continue the transition to green sources to lower energy costs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. #TransizioneVerde #EnergiaRinnovabile #DebitoPubblico (translated)
The gas crisis in Europe threatens Swedish companies and households, highlighting the importance of a long-term transition away from fossil dependence to avoid future energy crises. #energikris #gasbrist #Sverige (translated)
Several countries want to make the connection between the ETS and the high energy prices. On the contrary, we believe that our dependence on fossil fuels from Russia and the Middle East is the main cause of the high prices,” says EU Minister Jessica Rosencrantz to DN at the summit in Brussels. It is also important for our Swedish companies that have been early adopters of the transition. We were several countries that counterattacked and won the battle. But it will continue to be a contentious issue in the autumn,” says Rosencrantz. #Klimatpolitik #EU #Utsläppshandel (translated)
Memory The AFD is not only an anti-democratic party but also a fossil party (it calls for the end of wind/solar power), the surrender of Ukraine to Russia & the import of gas/oil from the brotherland is sought, these insane intentions are not compatible with our values #AFDBan #AFDVerbot (translated)
That Merz wants to overturn the ban on combustion engines in the name of his fossil friends hardly triggers me politically regarding climate. The train has left. But from an economic perspective, it means the end for the German automotive industry and hundreds of thousands of jobs. And we all know who will pay for the madness. (translated)
The author argued that reducing fuel tax was not a subsidy and called for fuel taxes to stop being raised. https://t.co/KYH6gLNWu2 https://t.co/azWznwK4IY #EUpolitics #FossilFuels #EnergyPolicy #EU
The author reported from the Bundestag that bestselling author Frank Schätzing recommended to the members of parliament a master plan that they should present to the EU Parliament. Schätzing advocated for an end to fossil combustion and a complete energy supply from renewable sources by 2030. #ErneuerbareEnergien #Klimaschutz #Bundestag #DE #EU (translated)
