“These narratives produced concrete policy outcomes: the … dilution and eventual abandonment of the 65% renewable energy obligation, the cancellation of planned building efficiency standards, and a reversal of Germany's position in EU negotiations on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.”

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

Climate change is here, sadly it is causing deaths with the present European heat wave. Vital to move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible, every EV replacing a petrol engine cuts emissions and in turn reduces harm www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

RECORD YEAR: 2025 was the biggest year ever for renewables. A record 692 GW was added, mostly solar. More importantly, non-fossil sources generated 43% of the world's electricity and fossil generation fell. More in Bright Spots: open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

2025 was a record year for clean power but still falling short of what is needed

On hot sunny days, batteries can ensure that buildings stay cool 24/7 – reducing reliance on costly gas power plants. Batteries, together with smart EV charging and heat pumps, help the EU make the most of wind and solar, while reducing grid strain. ember-energy.org/lat...

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

Electrifying everything we can gets us a long way to cutting emissions. Domestic heating, mostly from natural gas, is the big challenge.
