A dependancy is still a dependancy, no matter where it comes from.
Changing fossil gas supplier from Russia to the US in 2022 didn't make ๐ช๐บ's energy system more resilient.
Once again - the way to ensure the continent's energy security is through electrification, renewables and clean flexibility.
Gas is Europeโs most critical vulnerability, and countries that rely on it for electricity production, like ๐ฎ๐น, ๐ฌ๐ท, or ๐ฎ๐ช, could see a big increase in bills.
Meanwhile, countries using more renewable energy, like ๐ช๐ธ & ๐ต๐น are more resilient against the price shocks.

What if school roofs did more than keep the rain out?
In ๐น๐ท, schools and universities are saving money & protecting studentsโ future by generating solar power on their roofs.
Every rooftop that generates power:
๐ reduces fossil fuels
๐ cuts emissions
๐ shows how local action can benefit the country
War in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through energy markets and exposing Europeโs vulnerability to fossil gas price shocks.
Our new briefing outlines policy steps govts can take to protect households and accelerate energy security through clean power.

We all know a diet soda with a fast food burger doesnโt make it healthy. So when Big Tech promises AI will solve the climate crisis โ despite no evidence that consumer platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot actually do โ take it with a big pinch of salt.

The Climate Network has called on Tรผrkiyeโs #COP31 presidency to show real leadership: leave coal behind, commit to a #justtransition, and accelerate a full fossil fuel phaseout.
As climate impacts intensify everywhere, COP31 cannot be reduced to diplomatic symbolism.

๐ฎ๐น's high power prices arenโt caused by the ETS but by exposure to volatile ๐ gas markets.
"Subsidising gas would lock in the very vulnerability it claims to fix," writes Luca Bergamaschi of @eccoclimate.bsky.social.
The fix? Cut gas from price formation & accelerate renewables + clean flexibility.
Big Tech wants us to think that ChatGPT, Gemini & Grok can solve the climate crisis, although new research shows 0 evidence to prove that.
Evidence that data centres' energy use is threatening communities across Europe, however, is plentiful.

As conflict in the Middle East escalates, civilians pay the highest price as homes, safety & livelihoods are hit.
Fossil gas markets are exposed to conflict, chokepoints & bidding wars.
Energy security comes from renewables & clean flexibility, not fossil gas.
๐ขTime to get off the gas rollercoaster.
Energy security comes from renewables & clean flexibility, not fossil gas.
Fossil fuel supplies can vanish overnight, prices can spike, and consumers pay the price.
A renewables-based, flexible system is immune to these shocks.

Remember, when oil & gas prices surge, so do risks to our energy system.
There's a strong alternative.
Our new report by The Brattle Group shows that pairing renewables & clean flexibility keeps the grid reliable WITHOUT locking us into fossil fuel volatility.

Ever been to a public AGM? This is your chance! Yesterday we went to Siemens Energyโs first-ever public AGM to ask them directly how they plan to clean up their fossil gas business.
Come with us and see how it went. ๐ฅ๐

New report says clean flexibility can cut gas dependence and keep power affordable & reliable.
You might wonder, OK, but how?
We've got you covered. Our upcoming webinar on 3 March lays it all out, with expert speakers and time for a deep-dive Q&A.

While Siemens Energy is celebrating record revenues in its first ever public AGM and continuing to promote its โgreenโ credentials, we can't forget that it's also the 2nd largest global supplier of gas turbines for gas-fired plants under development around the world.
So we came by to protest.
Big Tech never met a climate claim it couldnโt greenwash. While AI-driven electricity demand throws the fossil fuel industry a lifeline, weโre told AI can help solve the climate crisis. The reality? 74% of claims about AI climate benefits are unproven.

PSA: Clean flexibility can cut Europeโs gas dependence and save up to โฌ300bn/year by 2030.
Batteries, heat pumps, EV smart charging & demand response can keep the lights on without fossil gas.

Why are some Europeans countries still importing Russian fossil fuels, including LNG?
Europe should (and can) avoid:
๐ Being at the mercy of autocratic regimes
๐ Fueling the climate crisis
๐ Paying unaffordable energy bills
๐ Locking into decades of gas infrastructure
๐ Fueling wars
We all know renewables cut emissions & boost energy security, but they can go even further with a helping hand.
Meet clean flexibility: storage, demand response, smarter grids.
Having one without the other is like leaving the house half dressed. You need both.

๐ฃ Our quarterly report is out and weโve got some highlights to share!
๐ In ๐ฌ๐ง, wind energy made up a whopping 38% of the energy mix.
๐ Meanwhile, solar is overtaking fossil gas capacity in ๐น๐ท.
๐ Finally, although coal is declining, we need to move faster to achieve a 2030 coal-free Europe.
Big Tech is selling an AI climate fairy tale.
Claims that โAI will fix the climateโ mostly point to older, low-impact tools, while energy-hungry generative AI and data centres keep driving up emissions.

Big Tech frames AI as a climate solution. But a new report takes off the rose-tinted smart glasses and shows a harsher reality: plenty of evidence that power-hungry generative AI is harming our planet, and little solid proof it can fight climate change.
๐ beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/t...
Fact: ๐ต๐ฑ has approximately <4-5x water resources per capita than the ๐ช๐บ average.
Fact: Gas power plants have a very negative impact on water resources.
So why construct a fossil gas plant that locks in fossil fuel dependence & wastes water if clean energy exists?
beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/02/17/g...
If it's helping with the climate crisis, turns out its probably not generative AI ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
