Wo gibt es die größten Hindernisse für #Erneuerbare in Europa? Wie können Menschen vor Ort besser in den Ausbau integriert werden? Und was bringt regenerative Quellen am wirkungsvollsten voran? Antworten darauf gibt Seda Orhan von @caneurope.org in unserem Blog https://www.oeko.de/blog/europaeisch-erneuerbar/
#RED3
Europäisch erneuerbar

Über elf Prozent aus Sonne. Gut 17 Prozent aus Wind. Mehr als 47 Prozent aus Erneuerbaren. Ihr Anteil an der europäischen Stromversorgung hat sich kontinuierlich erhöht. Und auch mit Blick auf den Endenergieverbrauch sind Sonne, Wind & Co. in den vergangenen Jahren unverzichtbare Protagonisten des europäischen Energiesystems geworden. Hier liegt ihr Anteil derzeit bei 23 Prozent. Laut den Zielen der EU sollen es bis 2030 insgesamt sogar 42,5 Prozent sein. Wie kann das gelingen? Darüber haben wir mit Seda Orhan, Head of Energy beim Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe gesprochen.

US bans controversial red food dye

<p>WASHINGTON - The administration of outgoing US President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced a ban on Red Dye No 3, a controversial food and drug colouring long known to cause cancer in animals.</p>

Bangkok Post

With awareness about Red 3 being increased due to the FDA ban, here's the list that the petroleum industry proudly touts on their website. Almost all of these have been connected to health issues of one kind or another in the limited studies that have been allowed. Corporate lobbying has limited real science on this. It's now 6, with the ban.

"Currently, there are 7 artificial colors generally permitted in food:
FD&C Blue No. 1 * --Brilliant Blue FCF, E133
FD&C Blue No. 2 --Indigotine, E132
FD&C Green No. 3 --Fast Green FCF, E143
FD&C Red No. 3 --Erythrosine, E127
FD&C Red No. 40 * --Allura Red AC, E129
FD&C Yellow No. 5 * --Tartrazine, E102
Yellow No. 6 * --Sunset Yellow FCF, E110"

Yet another reason to avoid ultraprocessed food and read the labels of the ones you do purchase. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts #Red3
