Electrification is THE dominant energy vector for the industry sector in all EU decarbonisation scenarios released by the European Commission.

The share of gas declines markedly in all scenarios.

Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security – and within NATO.

We support stronger defence capabilities and stepping up expenditures to contribute more effectively to our Atlantic Alliance.

Our unity and transatlantic bond are enduring.

Every day the US political news gets darker. Do not normalize it though. That’s what the MAGA and its international equivalents want, but a fascist is a fascist is a fascist.

it really, really bothers me that our elected officials don't seem to care nearly enough about Abrego Garcia, and they seem not to care at all about the other men who were sent to CECOT

*Far* from me to cheer for Merkel who did in fact generate the power vacuum that led to the current state of the CDU (among other EU problems). But since apparently my new thing is “women are actually good at politics”, worth pointing out that they really might be: www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how center-right liberal democratic leaders choose not to chase the far right.
Ireland’s Prime Minister Simon Harris called Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin part of Israel’s “diplomacy of distraction,” intended to deflect attention from “what Netanyahu is doing to the innocent children of Gaza.” He said Ireland remains committed to human rights and int’l law.

My friend has a Tesla. He’d like to rebrand it as a Trump. Where can I find the right-fonted replacement “RUMP” to stick over the ESLA? As I say, asking for a friend.

What do we do with the gas grid when gas demand is in terminal decline?

In my talk at the University of Oxford given this week I draw on years of work we have done at @regassistproj.bsky.social & set out the challenge & solutions. Watch a recording of my talk here.

Is it time to think of a supply side climate policy? Blue sky thinking is needed - where can it be found?
