"Germany’s government has agreed to push the EU to soften its 2035 deadline for new combustion engine car registrations, citing threats to jobs and industrial competitiveness." www.cleanenergywire.org/news/germany... via @cleanenergywire.bsky.social's @benjwhereman.bsky.social

Germany is currently moving ahead in fusion energy & attracting US researchers appaled by Trump’s attack on science, Focused Energy co-founder told Clean Energy Wire. “This is a clear opportunity for Germany and Europe that we must use” www.cleanenergywire.org/news/europe-...

Im Wahlkampf hatte die Union Robert Habeck regelmäßig als "schlechtesten Wirtschaftsminister" beschimpft. Ganz anders klingt Katherina Reiche bei der Amtsübergabe. "Wie Sie dieses Haus in bewegten Zeiten geführt haben", sei eine "fast übermenschliche Leistung", für die sie "höchsten Respekt" habe.

Friedrich Merz wants to revive Germany‘s ailing economy. The EU’s Green Deal couples this aim with emissions reduction. To lead Germany out of its slump keep European climate ambitions alive in the Trump era, Merz must resist far-right pressure - and get Europe‘s Conservatives on board

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF! youtube.com/watch?v=yMxJ...

In case you‘re wondering what exactly is happening in America, here is the playbook for dismantling the US state. This video from late 2024 has turned into a live documentary after Trump‘s inauguration. Three weeks in, half of the list has been implemented youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...

Deutsche so: Man weiß nicht, ob es ein Hitlergruß war, weil er nicht korrekt ausgeführt wurde. 🙃

Wind power is getting a lot of hate Trump vows to ban new farms that "drive the whales crazy" Germany's AFD want to "tear down all these windmills of shame" Misinformation is running wild. So let's cut the crap and review the real barriers facing wind power www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PFAS are called "the worst pollution crisis of all time". The EU wants to severely restrict them. But the chemical industry is fighting the biggest fight it ever fought. We investigated with 50 journalists & looked at thousands of docs, filed almost 200 FOIA requests, talked to dozens of experts.

The fallout of Germany's coalition collapse also affects the country's sustainable finance ambitions: Representatives from industry, finance, and civil society warn outgoing Scholz government against watering down new ESG data disclosure rules for companies in the EU

The German government's recent U-turn on implementing EU sustainability reporting duties might do a disservice to the economy, says the head of the Green and Sustainable Finance Cluster Germany Companies face increasing uncertainty regarding the country's ESG ambitions #CSRD

A decade ago the @WWF published a report about how to achieve 100% global renewable energy by 2050. On page 53 it features a lovely map using a Dymaxion projection to show a potential future global energy grid. Source: buff.ly/3qHrU4Z

Germany looks into alleged market manipulation during Dunkelflaute power price spike Increased demand for power imports to Germany prompted Swedish govt member to blame Germany’s energy policy for higher prices in Sweden www.cleanenergywire.org/news/germany...

Little sunshine and wind during some days of the year never comes as a surprise - what's more surprising is that the fossil backup power plant fleet is not deployed at scale @energy-charts.bsky.social www.cleanenergywire.org/news/short-t...

A new German government may find it hard to pick up the tab if campaigns for February's election target Germany's energy and climate policy course (and the CDU has to come clean on its heating decarbonisation plans) @brigitteknopf.bsky.social @kerstinandreae.bsky.social @andreasloeschel.bsky.social

Sad but superb summary of India’s disinterest in donor financed JETP transition away from coal effort. Results in other countries haven’t been entirely encouraging.
