EU drafts plan to label gas and nuclear investments as green
There needs to be clearer terminology and labels for “green”, “sustainable”, “renewable”, “climate neutral” energy.<p>I’d also like to throw in “democratic” in the mix. Because energy and foreign policy can’t be separated. The EU energy mix is going to be geopolitically very important in coming years.<p>We also need to make it very clear what the goals are for each kind and where the tradeoffs are. I think right now the important focus must be to be climate neutral and I dependent of eastern natural gas. And if that means not being sustainable for a couple of decades that seems well worth it.<p>This seems to be about biogas plants which are allowed to run on natural gas for the first years. Not great, not terrible.<p>But the EU should stop basing policy on fuzzy goalposts that are easily moved like this.
