Not only are the targets set by the government's draft energy plan insufficient in tackling the climate challenge, but the fairness of the process leading to them was dubious. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/01/13/japan/japan-energy-plan-process-failure/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #climatechange #emissions #energy #electricity #renewables #nuclearenergy #lng #gas #meti #environmentministry

What Europe needs to do in the next 10 years:
🔫 Create a single #EUarmy and foreign policy by majority
⚡️ A real common energy policy, which, like the CAP, has the goal of energy abundance, backed by #nuclear, #renewables, and #EnergyStorage tech

Good news story..

Between 1st July 2023 and the end of April 2024, Uruguay generated all of its electricity from hydro, wind, bioenergy and solar.

Hydroelectric plants comprised 42.9% of the total mix, followed closely by wind farms at 40.6%. Bioenergy (12.9%) and solar (3.5%) accounted for the remainder.
