💚 Today is the International Day of Clean Energy.

- Nearly half of Europe's electricity came from renewables in 2024.

- We saved €120 billion through energy efficiency measures.

- And in June 2025, solar became the EU's largest power source for the first time in history.

Today we reaffirm our commitment to clean energy over imported fossil fuels, and to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

@uriel @EUCommission
you're naive and privileged. Meanwhile, ~2 billion people have to fear for their existence because of decreased flow from the Himalaya's glaciers alone. That's about a quarter of this planet's human population and only one of the many consequences of climate change.
What's stopping us is our audacity and ignorance. We could stop stockbreeding today and cut almost half of our emissions. But we don't because we don't give a shit.

@uriel @EUCommission
and none of this is new information. We knew about the disastrous consequences of climate change and its causes 50 years ago. 2020 became 2025, 2025 became 2030, 2030 now becomes 2050. We're above 1.5 K difference already and we'll likely exceed 3 K difference by 2050, just because we can't be assed.

@ki @EUCommission

no, we didn't . 50 years ago there was no computing power enough to run any model.

Some people was trying to terorize the population , just to enter politics and pay their bills.

Tell me, fearmonger: are you paying your bills, doing this?

I think you should read the science you are mentioning, before of mentioning it. The idea of two billion people at risk before of 2027 is just ridicolous, stupid, and FAKE.

Clearly a FAKE. And if you had ANY idea of what the panel said, you won't sell this bovine output around.

When you see a school bus, next time, just try to get on board. No wonder Greta skipped school.

@EUCommission to whomever who put this meme into this post of the European Commission, do it more, it's finest humour, especially, considering it is coming from the EU institution!

Also, that's positive news! We are doing our part of Europe's market diversification and independence regaining. We use only #European and #opensource solutions in our #business.

@EUCommission So kick Germany out of its "lets buy gas from either russia or trump because independence and sovereignty are woke" mindset. This is undermining the EUs strategic position and makes the whole EU more vulnerable.

@European Commission Hmm, 2050 is far away, better aim for 2040 or even sooner. We don't have time.

We had enough time, half a century ago, when we realised we were destroying our planet. But we waited, and waited, and decided the economy was more important...

And now we're out of time.

@European Commission You haven't saved anything at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.
With a high share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix, you need 100% backup. So you need twice the required output. Two power plants instead of one.
