Umweltverbände werfen Leag Tricks durch neue Struktur vor

Umweltverbände befürchten, dass die Leag nach Umstrukturierungen nicht für die Sanierung der ausgekohlten Tagebaue aufkommen wird. Der Energiekonzern widerspricht - und bekommt Rückendeckung von den Behörden. Von Andreas Rausch

"Lobbyists on both sides of the Atlantic argued that government subsidies for clean technologies distorted free markets. Activists say their position is “dishonest” because the oil industry benefits from tax credits and other financial help from governments, and pays for only a fraction of the damage its fuels do to people and the planet... they knew renewable energy was such a threat to their industry that they had to lobby policymakers to rig the market against cleaner and cheaper technology to protect profits"

Yes, rapid scale up of #renewables sure is in order, but using #coal in 2040 is completely unacceptable. Poland's next government must go #BeyondFossilFuels.

New Europe-wide campaign shows path to renewables-based power system by 2035 - Beyond Fossil Fuels

Today, more than forty civil society organisations from across Europe are embarking on a mission to ensure governments, businesses, and financial institutions eliminate fossil fuels from the continent's power sector by 2035, replacing them with renewable energy sources and energy savings. The Beyond Fossil Fuels (BFF) campaign expands the hugely successful Europe Beyond Coal coalition, which has seen 23 European countries committing to coal exits, 17 of which will happen by 2030 at the latest.

Europe's move to swiftly ditch (almost) all Russian #fossilfuel imports is yet another proof that, once an emergency is acknowledged, governments can take rapid, bold steps -- exactly what's needed in the face of the #ClimateCrisis. Time to go #BeyondFossilFuels.
