The greener, the better. 💪
Yesterday the EU approved new rules on energy efficiency to reduce our final energy consumption by at least 11.7% by 2030, compared to the energy consumption forecasts made in 2020.
This will drive energy savings in critical sectors like buildings, industry, and transport, moving us forward on our path to becoming climate neutral.
It will also strengthen our energy security and further decrease our dependency on Russian fossil fuels.
I appreciate the effort and am fully aware that the by far biggest obstacles are the Council plus those groups in the EPP who can be considered as parlamentarian arms of the FF and other #climatecrisis fueling industries:
But minus 11.7% by 2030 isn't anywhere near of what's necessary.
We need a #whatever_it_takes approach in the same spirit as Draghi's #ECB actions.
@EU_Commission Can you share some more information on this? Perhaps a link to a press article or something?
@EU_Commission green as in tanks?
@EU_Commission Doesn't sound anything like enough!
