Meanwhile, also on this planet... www.ft.com/content/eb58...

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.

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...

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.

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 👇

Greenwashing has made it to Big Tech and their data centres' promises. Who would have guessed 🫣 Amazing work at @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social ⬇️

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

"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...

🇪🇺 has swapped one risky energy dependency for another by trading Russian fossil gas for US LNG, locking itself into a geopolitical trap. The solution? Wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in the EU electricity mix in 2025, says @taraconnolly.bsky.social www.brusselstimes.com/promoted/194...

Rising temps provoke extreme weather events around the world. 🗣️And, finally, fossil fuel companies could be forced to pay some of the price of their damage to the climate, and the ultra-rich subjected to a global wealth tax, if new rules are agreed under the UN. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

👍 Good news from new @ember-energy.org research: wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in the EU electricity mix for the first time ever in 2025. 🌪️ and ☀️ made up a record 30% of 🇪🇺 electricity, up from 20% just five years ago. Read the full electricity review below 👇 ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

This month’s electricity blackout in Berlin has sparked interest in balcony solar & batteries, but true energy resilience isn’t about everyone going it alone. Storage, flexible demand & decentralised renewables work best as part of a strong, well-planned system. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/01/19/w...

SCOOP: Carbon Brief has exclusively obtained a list of 84 countries "opposed" to adding a fossil-fuel roadmap to COP30 deal – but our analysis found a series of contradictions & likely errors For eg 14 on list are also roadmap "supporters" Read more➡️ www.carbonbrief.org/...

Energy should be boring:

This year, the data told a clear story: clean energy is gaining momentum, but policy choices still decide whether it tops the charts or stays stuck in the queue. Here’s our Clean Energy Wrapped: the trends, the numbers, and the signals Europe can't ignore.

Sabes ese momento en que nadie quiere poner etiquetas en una relación porque ya se sobreentiende, pero en realidad hay dudas... Eso es muy de 2020, ahora se lleva más el dar la cara y hablar claro. ⬇️ España debe anunciar oficialmente lo que ya somos, un estado libre de carbón

Si el cambio climático o la salud no son razones suficientes para acabar definitivamente con la energía proviniente de las minas de carbón... que lo sea este dato sobre su obsolencia: ➡️ El carbón ha representado sólo el 1% de la energía en España en lo que llevamos de año.

The collapse of civilisation is on the horizon, but it’s never on the front pages.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

In the US, some states have seen electric bills climb 12-16% higher this year. Why? Their high concentration of data centres and capacity-market costs. Europe must regulate unchecked data centre growth and power them with new and additional renewables. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/d...

"Today I call on every major tech film to power all data centres with 100% renewables by 2030," says Antonio Guterres. But that's not enough. New @ouest-france.fr video highlights our message: data centres must be powered by new AND additional renewables. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6m3...

Renewables are one side of the story, but to run a fully clean energy system, we also need modern grids and clean flexibility to balance supply and demand. On today's second Energy Day at #COP30, our new mini guide breaks down how it all fits together 👇

Our new mini-guide breaks down how soaring data centre demand, fuelled by AI, is straining energy systems and slowing the transition in Europe. At #COP30, governments and tech giants need to realise data centres growth needs new and extra renewables, and can’t come at our planet’s expense.

May all the news I read today be like this 🤞🏽 All in for puns and reminders of aspirational pace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Time for our quarterly update, and we’re starting with good news! Coal generation in Spain 🇪🇸 has dropped 97% since the early 2000s, making up just 1% of the country’s power mix so far this year. The payoff? Cleaner air and 95% drop in emissions from coal power in ten years.

New polling on data centres finds 72% of Europeans want a measure requiring new data centres be built only if they’re powered by new and additional renewable energy. ⚠️ People aren’t willing to trade the climate for unsustainable data centre growth.

🚨New polling across 🇮🇪, 🇬🇧, 🇪🇸, 🇨🇭, 🇩🇪 finds: 👉 76% of people believe new data centres should be powered with renewable energy. 👉73% want governments to set clear criteria for energy distribution. Renewables, transparency, & fairness are key for data centres. More: beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/10/27/e...

Around the world, from Türkiye to China to Greece, former coal mines are being repurposed for solar energy in a growing trend that blends clean electricity with regional development and environmental restoration. Read more 👇 www.aa.com.tr/en/science-t...

New from The Fix: Anton Protsiuk wrote about the three most interesting observations from the @reutersinstitute.bsky.social’s latest report on news creators – where legacy media still stands strong, how US culture wars are seeping into Europe, and more.

🧛‍♂️People in Europe say no to energy vampires! ⚡We don't want data centres to suck our energy and have priority access to electricity over other critical sectors and uses ☀️ We need more renewables, not industries that heavily rely on fossil fuels and slow down the transition

YO: new partnership vid w. the GREAT people at @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social, on their new data centre survey The story is this: you are not alone when you worry that data centre growth is being prioritised over health, power costs and resilience beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/10/27/m...
