Electrification is THE dominant energy vector for the industry sector in all EU decarbonisation scenarios released by the European Commission.

The share of gas declines markedly in all scenarios.

Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security – and within NATO.

We support stronger defence capabilities and stepping up expenditures to contribute more effectively to our Atlantic Alliance.

Our unity and transatlantic bond are enduring.

Every day the US political news gets darker. Do not normalize it though. That’s what the MAGA and its international equivalents want, but a fascist is a fascist is a fascist.

it really, really bothers me that our elected officials don't seem to care nearly enough about Abrego Garcia, and they seem not to care at all about the other men who were sent to CECOT
