Oil and gas companies, backed by Trump are now lobbying the EU to pause its methane law.
Shocked? The fossil fuel industry doesn't want to be regulated.

They profit. Everyone else suffers.
EU: don't back down!

Great from our colleagues in Lebanon
"The current crisis is a tragic, undeniable argument for why we must accelerate the transition to renewable energy"
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.
This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea
If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

Another war. Another fossil shock.
As violence escalates in the Middle East, civilians face devastating consequences. But the energy fallout is already hitting Europe. Gas prices up 50% in hours.
This is what fossil fuel dependence looks like. 🧵
It's crazy how reliant the world's entire energy system is on one body of water, the Strait of Hormuz, just 20 nautical miles across at its narrowest, and situated in one of the most volatile regions on Earth. Here are the countries most dependent on oil&gas through the strait.
well now
With its rapid shift to wind and solar energy, "Spain has broken the ruinous link between power prices and volatile fossil fuels, something its European neighbours are desperate to do" ⬇️

"As long as our world runs on oil and gas, our peace, security and our pockets will always be at the mercy of geopolitics.
Renewable energy enables local energy production and is not hostage to geopolitical conflict."

Europe is bracing for a surge in energy prices from a prolonged conflict in the Middle East that would put more pressure on the EU's struggling economy and expose its near-total reliance on foreign fossil fuels.
What's going on with the EU's deregulation agenda?👀
Send this to someone who needs to know now🫵

Europe's energy dependence is a security threat. Its rising dependence on US gas is a security threat.

EU leaders meeting today say they want Europe to be stronger, competitive and independent
So how does replacing Putin’s gas for Trump’s gas, while pushing back on commitments to power our homes and factories with cheap, home-grown renewables put Europe on a path to energy independence?
🙈🙉🙊 #EUCO
Some EU leaders are meeting the chemical industry in Antwerp today, and then all EU heads of state/government are meeting in a Belgian castle tomorrow to discuss "competitiveness"
What do they really mean when they say that? 👇
BREAKING As the European Union (EU) ministers rubber-stamp the EU’s ban on imports of Russian gas, Greenpeace Belgium activists warn them not to replace Putin’s gas with Trump’s.

Stop fossil gas!
Greenpeace Greece activists have entered a fossil gas site in the Aegean Sea. While the climate crisis escalates, the industry and complicit governments still build dirty gas infrastructure... in a protected nature area. 😤

Not in line with climate goals: 5 major US fossil gas export projects are so polluting they fail the “Climate Test” based on the US Department of Energy’s 2024 models, according to a report by Greenpeace USA, Earthworks & Oil Change International.

Greenpeace Italy is protesting fossil gas expansion near #Ravenna.
Fossil gas is a dirty climate killer, and Trump and Meloni's gas deals are locking Europe into a gas trap.
Renewables are the key to energy security.

#StopFossilGas
The @ec.europa.eu wants to stop Europe importing fossil gas from Russia – good idea!
But swapping Putin’s gas for more fossil gas from elsewhere is a dangerous trap
The EU must phase out ALL fossil gas by 2035 – no more deals, no more delays
#StopFossilGas
Real energy security means an end to fossil fuel dependence, and here's how to do it:
💸 Tax oil and gas companies to fund the transition
🏠 Save energy with renovations
🌞 Double EU renewables by 2030
📉 Plan to phase out gas by 2035
🚫 Ban new fossil fuel projects now
#StopFossilGas
Millions for Putin? 🇷🇺💰 German state-owned #SEFE is fuelling Putin's war by buying more Russian LNG, @spiegel.de reveals.
The German government must ensure the integrity of EU sanctions and end all fossil gas deals with Russia!

More fossil gas = more political blackmail.
More fossil gas = more climate chaos.
We’ve seen enough. Time to leave gas behind for good, time for the age of renewables!

Our activists took action to send a strong message.
Our gas bills are fueling Putin’s and Trump’s administrations, their war chests, and their destructive plans.
We need real energy independence, not just words.
It’s time to cut the gas. ✊

#TheirGasYourCash
Greenpeace activists in the North Sea are right now confronting tanker ships carrying liquified gas from the US and Russia, on their way to Zeebrugge in Belgium
Liquified gas is dirty, dangerous, expensive and funds war
Renewables and insulation can cut bills, and pollution
#StopFossilGas
Liquified gas is an expensive, dirty fossil fuel
Europe needs energy that's affordable and 100% renewable, not to lock itself into another dependency
The EU Commission should drop this awful idea and invest in renewables and insulation to cut gas use and bring people's bills down
