<![CDATA[Europe needs access to affordable, clean energy.]]>Europe needs access to affordable, clean energy.

We're taking action to help EU countries implement energy-saving measures that work, including:

πŸ‘‰ Fast-tracking the EU Grids Package to ensure our electricity network is efficient and good value

πŸ‘‰ Moving away from imported fossil fuels and towards homegrown sources – the only way to truly protect people and industry from price shocks

For an energy system that works for you.

The more unfortunate thing about this (apart from the cost and the fact that we have no way of dealing with Nuclear waste) is that we'd need to get Uranium from Russia.

AI is so resource and energy intensive.

The signals have been mixed.

They are pressing ahead with SMRs after their ERP plans ran billions over budget and are over a decade late...

And EDF the state owned electricity company hates solar and wind, in fact anything that detracts from their nuclear fleet...

We can't seriously ask people to worry about saving energy while at the same time we allow big tech to evaporate all our water to make slop.
