Europe needs to play hardball.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social - can you have a chat with Pedro Sanchez about what a minority of national politicians could do? Clearly Germany & others will remain deeply problematic so it won't be a consensus position

It cuts the income of autocrats running petrostates.

What's not to like??

How would the Iran crisis play out in a world powered by renewables not fossil fuels? This conflict exposes the fragility of the global fossil fuel economy and how renewables create resilience.

For the political leaders of Germany, Canada, Australia and others who with the Iran bombings have carved out exceptions against international rules of and in war, please listen at ca 50 min in: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/o...

The main reason UK energy prices are so high is not net zero but the fact the price of gas still sets the price of electricity. Breaking that link should be the priority.

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

The directors should be made to pay this fine personally. Not the shareholders.

It's total bs. And the fact that Sanchez is exceptional is what's really bad. Never before have Europeans (including Brits) been so badly led.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Where’s the pushback? Climate deniers expected more resistance to the fossil fuel blitz. But Democrats, billionaires and activists have gone silent

Hello? Anybody home?

Climate "hushing" and avoidance has allowed Trump and the fossil industry to destroy decades of effort.

Where is the climate movement? Where are the Democratic politicians?

Vast majorities are concerned about climate change.

Unfortunately I'm being proven right

Even the European Parliament, now under a new right-wing majority, won't stand up for Europe in the face of American threats.

An attempt to table a debate about the 🇺🇸embargo on Spain was killed by VDL/Merz's EPP, who teamed with Meloni's ECR, Orban's PfE & Weidel's ESN.
