The growth in renewable power capacity has saved the 27-nation bloc €99 billion in avoided gas imports between March and September, which is €11 billion more when compared with the same period from last year, according to the report published by climate think tanks E3G and Ember. The boost in renewables comes as Europe tries to wean itself off Russian gas, as Moscow reduces, even cuts off, European nations’ energy supplies to gain leverage in the conflict.
Total renewable capacity would have been far higher, had hydroelectricity not been down 21% due to droughts this summer, which scientists say have been made worse by the human-caused climate crisis. The report’s key message is simply: “More renewables, less inflation.” Nonetheless, European energy prices are still high. Russia’s gas restrictions to Europe have resulted in “the largest inflationary shocks in Europe since World War II, beating that of the oil crisis in the 1970s,” the report said.
Some good news 🤗
It shows that under pressure, humans can make swift alternatives. But all these negative things never had to happen.

Pffft
Wind and solar tend to disappear from view in the dead of winter. That's when the gas is required if nuclear power is excluded.
ericgarland It takes money to get us out of our thirst for fossil fuels. What’s driving our inflation/ recession is the cost of fuel. It’s integral to every aspect of our economy. Yet the GOP gutted the climate bill.
Bull shit. Wait till December, it will show how dependent everyone is on oil and gas. Climate change is bullshit woke propaganda. It will collapse very soon. Let's see everyone can give up 2 hour showers and airplane rides and sustain manufacturing on wind and solar.
Wait until winter...
Green energy winning at last over poor Ukraines back. We owe them!
