A more independent Europe means homegrown, affordable, and reliable energy.
So far: renewables and nuclear energy already make up over 70% of our electricity generation.
Next: we are accelerating grid connections and storage so no clean power goes to waste.
The future: we are launching a new electrification strategy this summer to make Europe more independent. We are moving away from expensive fossil fuels and toward a system that works for our people and the planet.

@EUCommission We need to make sure that there are enough connections between France and Spain

@EUCommission And nuclear energy is not homegrown. And by the way, far too expensive.

@EUCommission
Eventually, some time in the future we’ll have a unified European Army, but meanwhile we certainly need to rethink NATO.
Also rethink the Veto system. -

@EUCommission Kernenergie wo haben wir Uranvorkommen die tragfähig sind nirgends Kernenergie ist den Gegnern von Morgen einen Atomangriff ohne Atombombe zu ermöglichen.
mehr solar Wind Wasserkraft mehr Speicher ob Batterie oder Kinetisch oder oder oder das brauchen wir aber keine Kernenergie die Kurropitionenergiequelle seit Jahrzehnten.

"Homegrown" nuclear energy?
»#Russia, through state-owned #Rosatom controls a large share of the global nuclear fuel supply chain. The scale of this dominance is striking: Russia commands approximately 46% of global uranium enrichment capacity, 20% of conversion services, and serves as the primary supplier for VVER reactor types across the world including Central and Eastern Europe.
For the European Union specifically, the dependency statistics are sobering. In 2023, EU utilities sourced 23% of their uranium from Russia directly, with an additional 21% coming from Kazakhstan, where Russian companies hold significant stakes through Uranium One company. Russian companies provided 22% of conversion services and a remarkable 38% of enrichment services to EU utilities in 2023.« (emphasis added)
Fortunately, at least Germany has consigned this technology to the dustbin of history – and sadly, it can't do so with nuclear waste.
Finland is the only country of the #EU that has a final disposal site. A single one.
Go to hell with your greenwashing of "nuclear energy".

@katzenberger @EUCommission still better than fossil fuels

@EUCommission Bookmarking to read the German bros comments later, I'm sure they're being totally normal about this one.
