Honestly europe quietly doing one of the biggest energy transitions in the world and half the time people still talk like nothing ever changes
This is good, for the planet and for Europe. Don’t let maga retards tell you otherwise.
The only thing that should never have happened, is the abandonment of nuclear
Solar + wind also produced 29% more electricity than nuclear in 2025, but they haven’t yet surpassed the historical high of nuclear (928TWh in 2004).

Numbers:
>>> nuclear_2025 = 652.39
>>> solar_wind_2025 = 367.90 + 472.86
>>> solar_wind_2025 / nuclear_2025
1.2887383313662073
>>> nuclear_2004 = 928.46
>>> solar_wind_2025 / nuclear_2004

This is great news
Also: batteries are getting both mich better (fast charge, long cycle life) for EVs, and much cheaper (for stationary storage)
This makes me happy!
When you guys are done, can you help Africa and Latin America transition? Or along the way?
Renewable energy is a matter of national security, the damage the close of Ormyz will bring is hard to state.
Meanwhile, PiS’s newly appointed candidate for Prime Minister:
>If energy prices here continue to be the highest in Europe, there will be no companies here, no jobs, and unemployment will return to the levels seen before 2015, Czarnek added.
>What is this country supposed to do? This country is supposed to go to Brussels and say: ‘We no longer have the ETS in Poland.’ We are stopping it. Our companies will not pay for it. We do not have any of your energy mix. We do not have any Green Deal. No shite RES subsidised with subsidies. We have our coal mix. Because we have our natural resources. And keep your hands off them,“ thundered the former minister in the Sokoła Hall.

…nevermind you the fact that we already import more coal and Polish coal is the most expensive to mine. It’s only cheap to consumers because of large government subsidies.
