Five insights 🧵:
1) The value of additional solar plants in south-east Europe and particularly Italy is still very high.

Germany should accelerate its renewable energy transition - Communications Earth & Environment
Germany’s energy transition relies on variable renewables and electricity use across sectors, and it needs to accelerate. This Comment argues that consistent policy commitments to proven technologies,...
1/ How is Germany's #Energiewende going, and how should it proceed? In our brand-new piece in Communications Earth & Environment, we show that the expansion of variable renewables has progressed substantially in recent years, but electrification and flexibility have not kept pace. A short 🧵

One year on from Draghi, where does EU energy policy stand?
Progress has been made on EU energy integration to underpin competitiveness, but much more remains to be done
NEW🚨The response to Draghi’s call for action on energy has thus so far been more incremental than disruptive. But potentially significant initiatives are on the way. These will represent Europe’s moment of truth for energy integration.

Bottomline: the US will either falter and reverse everything, with substantial losses, or continue current path with huge losses. Credibility of this administration internationally is low, but the damage is deeper and will outlast it. Institutions provided no checks and balances.

Report: Die Energiewende kosteneffizient gestalten – Szenarien zur Klimaneutralität 2045 | Ariadne
Der vorliegende Ariadne-Szenarienreport spannt den Optionenraum für die deutsche Energiewende auf. Dazu werden fünf Szenarien modelliert, die Klimaziele und Klimaneutralität erreichen. Ein sechstes Sz...
Die neuen Szenariorechnungen zur Klimaneutralität 2045 aus dem @ariadneprojekt.bsky.social sind da! 🔽 Wie schon in früheren Studien zeigt sich, dass erneuerbarer Strom der wichtigste Energieträger wird. Ein schneller Ausbau von Windkraft & PV und ihre Nutzung für Mobilität und Wärme sind essenziell.

Absolutely. Also we should pour all our energy into getting the next steps right rather than relitigating why we have not taken them already. We can do that later.

After the news we got from the #MSC2025 last weekend, talks have again started about an EU army.
👇 With @eu-untangled.bsky.social (my side project), we recorded an episode with Ionela Ciolan on that topic. She explains, whether we need a common army and what the EU needs to do to defend itself.

It's wild when you think about it.
🇺🇸Republicans pressured reluctant Western Europe to invite #Ukraine to join #NATO in 2008 (Bush). Many think that move provoked this war.
Now it's 🇺🇸Republicans who will pressure Europe to drop the invitation, to end the war
When will Europe decide its own future?

Die Grafik zeigt den Mittelwert aktueller Wahlumfagen: Union 30,0%, AfD 20,8%, SPD 15,8%, Grüne 13,8%, BSW 4,7%, Linke 4,6%, FDP 3,9%. Quelle: zeit.de/wahlrecht.
Es gibt ein plausibles Szenario, in dem es nach der Wahl weder für Schwarz-Rot noch für Schwarz-Grün reicht. Etwa wenn BSW und Linke in den Bundestag kommen, die Union noch etwas verliert und die AfD zulegt.
Dann könnte es sehr kompliziert werden.

Interessante Anmerkungen 👇
Auch vor dem Hintergrund, dass man der CDU traditionell Machterhaltung als oberste Maxime unterstellt hat. Hat sich dort was zu Gunsten von Ideologie verschoben?
