We are unveiling our plan to make Europe the world’s first electro-powered continent:
1️⃣ By 2040, electricity should account for 46% of Europe's final energy consumption
2️⃣ Reducing the price gap between electricity and fossil energy
3️⃣ Lowering network charges and taxes
4️⃣ Deploying smart meters faster
Our aim: save €200 billion in fuel imports by 2040 and halve oil consumption.
Power Smarter. Go Electric.
@EUCommission 🤬Nope, it's "Burn, baby, burn".
Another smoke curtain by the EC's spin doctors!! https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-climate-change-fight-carbon-market-emissions-trading-system/
Even that figure of 46% is pure wishful thinking/communication strategy. Fossil industry lobbies wins 🤮
In the meantime, is it possible to standardize plugs and outlets?
@EUCommission "We won't do nearly enough, but we'll act really smugly like we are".
tbh I don't even believe it, one phonecall from washington and the EU bureaucrats will bend over again and invest another ungodly amount in the fossil fuel industry.
That picture is so racist and sexist.
It does not represent the wholeness of European plugs, just the supremacist continental one.
And the male plug is depictured more present and powerful than the female.
Just joking. 🤣
@EUCommission Very ambitious. How about 2035? 2030? Don’t move in glacial speed, we can be faster - have a look how China does it. Start moving, not only talking!
@EUCommission Great ambition. But here in the UK electricity remains the most expensive energy, and has no consumer subsidies. where gas still does!! And then they wonder why the public is negative about net zero.
Now look as Aus - free renewable energy for up to 3 hours a day!
@EUCommission our household has been 100% electric (and 100% renewable at that (quaranteed wind electrons. I know how it works, so no reply guys, thanks.)) since 2020 when we replaced our second car that was PHEV with a BEV. Where the fuck is our trophy!!? 😅️
- Heating: air source heat pump with radiator backup.
- Water boiler: electric (well, this is a no-brainer in Finland)
- Stove: induction
- Cars: electric. Nissan e-NV200 and VW ID.3
- All power tools and garden machinery: battery or plugin.
@EUCommission you had better, or you risk going extinct
@EUCommission Yrs, nice talk!
However, your actions with at about everything are totally contrary!
@EUCommission
Step 1:
* set a target that's way too low to counter the apocalyptic conditions we're steering into *
Step 2:
* Undercut that target by 33% because of corruption with the conservatives and FReEdOM!!!!1!!! *
Step 3:
* start measures to hide the effects of the climate catastrophe, to not loose votes *
@EUCommission 2030 and then far more than 48, otherwise we will have food and water shortages on the near horizon.
How?
By increasing the consumption tax on a fossil energy?
Sounds like Marx and Charles Fourier creating another version of communism.
Not even half in almost 15 years?
That doesn't sound really impressive tbh
@EUCommission AT LAST, IT ONLY TOOK ONE URKRAIN WAR AND ONE ORMUZ CLOSURE TO MAKE YOU ACT
@EUCommission
Are you serious? More CO2 certificates, a hollow green deal. All the while asking for compliments??
As others pointed out: too late, too little. Our children will have to pay.
