Hungary & Slovakia (the whole EU too) should *definitely* stop buying Russian fossil fuels & nuclear fuel

But just replacing these with fuels from the US is a disaster

Instead, investments in more renewables and energy savings will cut pollution and people's bills, all while defunding Putin's war
Hungary and Slovakia must quit Russian gas and nuclear, Trump envoy warns
“The more we can strangle Russia’s ability to fund this murderous war, the better for all of us,” says U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Germany will be pragmatic on nuclear. Yes, let’s be pragmatic. New #nuclear is too slow and too expensive, it will further delay the energy transition. Real pragmatism means accelerating #solar #wind and investing in #grids, #energyefficiency, #flexibility with demand side response and #storage.
Germany drops opposition to nuclear power in rapprochement with France
Paris wins approval from Berlin to remove anti-nuclear bias in EU legislation, say officials

Can community engagement and benefit sharing create real support for #renewables? Yes and it must! It’s time to move from scattered good practices to #EU wide common standards. #Energysky
YIMBY: Are community benefits the secret to Europe’s green transition?
Most Europeans support the shift to renewable energy, but translating that into support for actual projects on the ground isn’t easy.

Real energy security means an end to fossil fuel dependence, and here's how to do it:

💸 Tax oil and gas companies to fund the transition

🏠 Save energy with renovations

🌞 Double EU renewables by 2030

📉 Plan to phase out gas by 2035

🚫 Ban new fossil fuel projects now
