“Staying stuck on the rollercoaster of global oil and gas prices will help nobody,” says Rachel Reeves to G7. And returning to coal, like 🇮🇹 and maybe 🇩🇪, is an archaic step backwards. Renewables work and "that transition is strongest when countries act together." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🇮🇹 is delaying its coal phaseout from 2025 to 2038, keeping some of its oldest, dirtiest power plants alive for electricity that only provides <1% of supply. Doubling down on fossil fuels in the name of “energy security” is a lose-lose strategy. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/03/30/i...

Irish households are already struggling with soaring energy bills. But data centres’ exploding electricity demand is making things worse. Consumers are paying through levies that fund capacity subsidies while Big Tech profits from the AI boom. We break it down 👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/03/26/i...

In a year, 🇮🇹 could replace >85% of its Qatari gas demand with renewables, energy efficiency & electrification, finds @eccoclimate.bsky.social. The last 15%? Existing import infrastructure, spare capacity & capturing methane from flaring & venting — no new gas needed. eccoclimate.org/italy-could-...

Today's energy crisis shows the risk of imported fossil fuels, so why plan even more gas in 🇪🇺? 🇩🇪: the need for gas disappears when storage & flexibility are included. 🇵🇱: batteries are already beating gas in capacity auctions. 🇪🇸: wind & solar cut gas dependence. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/03/24/f...

🇬🇧 Energy secretary Ed Miliband says the Iran war shows clean power is “essential” as the UK announces measures to ramp up solar and heat pumps for households. From 2028, no new homes will join the gas network, and solar panels will cover 40% of ground floor space. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Electricity market integration can't come at our planet's expense. Without strong environmental safeguards, cross-border power trade risks locking in pollution instead of accelerating clean energy. A truly integrated market is clean, compliant, fossil-free. New @ceebankwatch.bsky.social #CBAM blog 👇

A year after the Iberian blackout, the verdict is clear: grid failure, NOT renewables, was the root cause of the incident. And today, amidst a fresh energy crisis, it's also clear renewables are protecting 🇪🇸 consumers from price spikes. Read the ENTSO-E report 👇 www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

Geopolitical tensions are once again exposing the fragility of fossil fuel supply chains. Gas can’t guarantee energy security. Europe needs a smarter, cleaner way to keep electricity reliable and affordable: clean flexibility.

Gas sets UK electricity prices 85% of the time—despite generating just ¼ of power, leaving bills exposed to crises. New research shows if the govt can break this link, household bills could be reduced by > £200, & stop windfall profits for renewables companies. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At Monday’s Energy Council, Ursula von der Leyen rightly stressed upgrading Europe’s electricity grid for energy independence. But grid planning needs real transparency & independent oversight to deliver value and break from fossil fuels. Here's our breakdown 👉 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/05/13/h...

Today's energy crisis will increase electricity prices, but it's not the root cause. It's time for govts to adopt structural fixes to cut energy bills and reduce exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets ahead of the European Council this week. Our suggestions 👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/03/17/r...

The escalation in the Middle East is a stark reminder of the EU’s fossil reliance. New analysis from @ember-energy.org finds rising fossil prices are driving up import costs, +€2.5bn in just 10 days, with potential knock-on effects on power prices. Countries less reliant on gas are more insulated.

Ahead of the 🇪🇺 General Affairs Council tomorrow, a reminder that regions most affected by the transition can’t be left behind. The new budget proposal risks centralising decisions and cutting support. Strong, place-based funding is key to a just and fast decarbonisation. 👇

Türkiye hosting #COP31 brings both responsibility and opportunity in the global climate effort. To be truly action-oriented, the shift must start at home. Efforts to keep the coal sector afloat through public subsidies undermines climate leadership the world needs. www.bbc.com/turkce/artic...

Good news! The Citizens Energy Package from the 🇪🇺 Commission could enable 16M households & 630k SMEs to produce their own renewables by 2030. But we’re missing the how. DSOs must play a more proactive role to make this happen. Our recommendations 👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/11/18/f...

Weakening the EU ETS would increase regulatory risk, delay investment decisions and undermine Europe’s climate leadership. Ahead of the European Council, we’re urging EU leaders to safeguard a strong and predictable carbon pricing framework. Read more 👉 bit.ly/4s4pzRg

New poll in 🇩🇪 finds: 👉 72% believe a dependence on fossil fuel supplies increases the risk of international conflicts 👉 57% see fossil fuel dependence as a threat to national security 👉 58% want the energy transition prioritised. Time for the government to listen & accelerate the energy transition.

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 🇪🇺'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 Europe’s most critical vulnerability, and countries that rely on it for electricity production, like 🇮🇹, 🇬🇷, or 🇮🇪, could see a big increase in bills. Meanwhile, countries using more renewable energy, like 🇪🇸 & 🇵🇹 are more resilient against the price shocks. Read more @eurcorrespond.bsky.social 👇

What if school roofs did more than keep the rain out? In 🇹🇷, schools and universities are saving money & protecting students’ future by generating solar power on their roofs. Every rooftop that generates power: 👍 reduces fossil fuels 👍 cuts emissions 👍 shows how local action can benefit the country

War in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through energy markets and exposing Europe’s 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. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/03/09/t...

We all know a diet soda with a fast food burger doesn’t make it healthy. So when Big Tech promises AI will solve the climate crisis – despite no evidence that consumer platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot actually do – take it with a big pinch of salt. 👀 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/t...

The Climate Network has called on Türkiye’s #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. iklimagi.org/en/climate-n...

🇮🇹's high power prices aren’t caused by the ETS but by exposure to volatile 🌍 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. 👏 Important work by @globalactionplan.bsky.social & more!

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. 🎢Time 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. More in our webinar today. 🗓️ 11am CET 🔗 us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

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. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/23/c...

Ever been to a public AGM? This is your chance! Yesterday we went to Siemens Energy’s 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. 🎥👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/26/s...

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. 📣 Register now: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

While Siemens Energy is celebrating record revenues in its first ever public AGM and continuing to promote its ‘green’ 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 couldn’t greenwash. While AI-driven electricity demand throws the fossil fuel industry a lifeline, we’re told AI can help solve the climate crisis. The reality? 74% of claims about AI climate benefits are unproven. Read now: beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/r...

PSA: Clean flexibility can cut Europe’s gas dependence and save up to €300bn/year by 2030. Batteries, heat pumps, EV smart charging & demand response can keep the lights on without fossil gas. Our new report is out now 👉 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/23/c...

Why are some Europeans countries still importing Russian fossil fuels, including LNG? Europe should (and can) avoid: 👉 Being at the mercy of autocratic regimes 👉 Fueling the climate crisis 👉 Paying unaffordable energy bills 👉 Locking into decades of gas infrastructure 👉 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. Watch the video break it down 👇

📣 Our quarterly report is out and we’ve got some highlights to share! 👍 In 🇬🇧, wind energy made up a whopping 38% of the energy mix. 👍 Meanwhile, solar is overtaking fossil gas capacity in 🇹🇷. 👎 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 “AI will fix the climate” mostly point to older, low-impact tools, while energy-hungry generative AI and data centres keep driving up emissions. via @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social

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. 📄 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/t...

Fact: 🇵🇱 has approximately <4-5x water resources per capita than the 🇪🇺 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 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If it's generative AI, turns out it's probably making the climate crisis worse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Great research from @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social

💡Claims that AI can help fix climate have been dismissed as greenwashing in a new report by @ketanjoshi.co @stand.earth @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social @foeus.bsky.social via @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Most claims that AI can help avert climate breakdown refer to machine learning & not the energy-hungry chatbots & image generation tools driving the sector’s explosive growth of gas-guzzling data centres, the analysis of 154 statements found." 🚨 Report out now! beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/t...

Big Tech says AI can solve climate change. The actual data says not so fast. Learn why/how so many claims about AI’s climate benefit are a hoax 👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/17/t...

To claim something you need to be able to prove it. So what’s actually behind claims that AI can help solve climate change and what does the evidence actually say?

As govts gather for the #MunichSecurityConference, renewables, energy storage & grid interconnection should be considered as core security infrastructure. Doubling down on them makes 🇪🇺 safer and more resilient, says Bruce Douglas of Global Renewables Alliance. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Do you remember 2016? We do. Pokémon Go, Beyonce’s Lemonade, Snapchat. More importantly, since 2016: 💪 25 🇪🇺 countries have announced coal phaseouts❗ 💪 61% of coal plants across the continent have shut down❗ Geopolitical tensions might be high, but it's important to remember how far we've come.

Fossil gas imports don’t mean energy security. They lock countries into price shocks, supply risks & geopolitical dependence. The UK’s latest renewables auctions show another way: wind & solar cutting gas demand by 80+ TWh/yr and slashing exposure to LNG markets. @eciu.net eciu.net/media/press-...

"The EU has built renewable electricity capacity at impressive speed, but transmission links are limited, preventing clean power from being used efficiently," @bloomberg.com editorial: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

New @fundacjainstrat.bsky.social research shows that investments in electricity grids are NOT an economic barrier installing more renewable energy sources in Poland. 👉 Expansion and modernisation of the grid is needed, regardless of the pace of the energy transition. instrat.pl/en/grids-and...
