"Considerable political resources were squandered for something that could have been achieved via a far less strenuous route“, a useful and to the point summary of the fraught genesis of the so-called #climateclub

We've been honored to write a briefing on the first-ever Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels #TAFF for the European Parliament's ENVI Committee. I hope it will be useful for the MEPs going to the conference https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2026/786412/ECTI_BRI(2026)786412_EN.pdf

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

Ketan JoshiAnother warm congraulations to every person who has fought to delay, kill and weaken climate policies to gradually reduce fossil fuel reliance, over the past few decades.

From the #EuropeanCentralBank, no less: "the real question is no longer whether Europe can afford to make the #energytransition. It is whether it can afford not to. From a central banking perspective, the answer is clear.“ https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/date/2026/html/ecb.blog20260407~dfa96b8bfc.en.html
Europe’s fossil fuel dependence poses risks to price stability
The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank of the European Union countries which have adopted the euro. Our main task is to maintain price stability in the euro area and so preserve the purchasing power of the single currency.
