US Urges Eastern Europe to Split From EU Energy Transition Aims

(idiocy built on bad math: when whole swathes of the planet become uninhabitable, the cheap energy you have now, unless spent on resiliency will simply hasten unlivability)

"Some want to regulate every form of energy besides the so-called #renewables, completely out of existence... We oppose these harmful and dangerous policies. This is not #energysecurity," Tommy Joyce, US Acting Asst. Sec. of Energy for Int'l Affairs.

Yes, the EU (and UK) approach to #energySecurity is to transition to renewables (plus fossil gas stockpiles, shown to be woefully deficient in 2022). But the US energy security approach has shortcomings. Oil & gas sold on world market, with world market prices. Thus US is secure against blockades,

🌿 What does energy security look like in action?
Bioenergy is already delivering — providing reliable, renewable heat and power while reducing Europe’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.
This short video highlights how locally sourced biomass supports stable energy supply, rural development, and climate goals — all at once.

The EU and the UK underline their commitment to the energy transition at a London summit.

The president of the European Commission has underlined the need for Europe to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels at an energy security summit, despite US demands for Europe to ramp up LNG imports.

Let's talk #EnergySecurity: in 2023, the EU’s gas import dependency stood at 90% 🤯

Heating & cooling in buildings is nearly 40% of the EU’s gas consumption.

Replacing fossil fuel heating with renewable and local solutions is a climate imperative and a strategic necessity for energy security and economic resilience.

Have a look at this excellent piece by MEP Thomas Pellerin-Carlin and Mohamed Ridouani, mayor of Leuven 👇 🙌

Half our energy demand goes to heating & cooling. Clean heat =

✔️ Less gas dependence
✔️ Stronger local economies
✔️ Affordable energy for citizens

Will be watching the @IEA.org's Summit on the Future of #EnergySecurity with interest. It's time to make #CleanHeat a priority.

Remember the old days when the selling point for new technology was that it would deliver more for less?
