Everyone in Europe should have access to affordable energy.
Through the Citizens Energy Package, we’re taking concrete actions and helping EU countries to put them into practice:
⚡ Lower energy costs, clearer bills, and easier switching between suppliers
🏡 Support energy communities and self-consumers
📉 Reduce dependence on fossil fuels and limit exposure to price volatility
🛡️ Fight energy poverty and protect vulnerable households
Stop this oil, coal, nuclear bullshit and bring renewables. It's so stupid.
1) Let's not replace Arab oil with Russian uranium.
2) Let's not pretend nuclear is suddenly economically sensible when it stays expensive while renewables and storage keep getting cheaper.
3) We need clean energy now, not some experimental SMR in ten years.
