"The stakes could not be higher. Every kilowatt that powers our factories, homes, and AI data centers depends on a stable, secure energy supply. Undermining that supply threatens not only our economy but also our technological and national security." 

 

– The Honorable Jason Isaac,
American Energy Institute

Net zero chalks up another zero.


Reuters (10/26/25) reports: "European Union countries are negotiating proposals to give industries a more flexible path to meeting climate goals, a draft EU document showed, as the bloc attempts to win support from governments for a new 2040 emissions-cutting target. The EU is negotiating a legally-binding target to cut net greenhouse gas emissions 90% by 2040, and is racing to approve the goal before world leaders gather for the U.N.'s COP30 climate summit on November 6. However, months of negotiations have so far not yielded a deal, as some governments have pushed back on green measures, and raised concerns over how to finance the low-carbon transition alongside priorities like defence and revitalising industries. A draft EU compromise proposal, seen by Reuters, showed countries have drafted plans that would allow the EU to review the 2040 target every two years - potentially allowing Brussels to weaken the goal in future...The new compromise reflects demands made by EU government leaders at a summit last week, where they debated the 'enabling conditions' needed to meet green goals while avoiding higher energy bills for citizens and supporting businesses grappling with cheap Chinese imports and U.S. tariffs."

Amazing what is possible when the people in charge want Americans to have access to more energy, not less.

Wahnsinn.


Eugyppius (10/26/25) article: "The nuclear plant at Gundremmingen once produced a quarter of all the power generated in Bavaria. That was before we shut down its reactors in 2017 and 2021, in the course of our insane and totally purposeless nuclear phaseout. In theory anyway, we could have reactivated Gundremmingen in as little as four years. Instead, yesterday at noon exactly, we detonated the plant’s cooling towers. As the ecologically-minded Bayerischer Rundfunk reminds us, we can be grateful that light rain kept the dust pollution to a minimum...In Germany we have the highest electricity prices in Europe and we just blew up our largest-capacity nuclear plant on live television.  Germany is presently deindustrialising, in large part because it has the most expensive energy in Europe. Our Economics Minister is begging the EU Commission to green-light more natural gas electricity generation. And we literally just blew up a power plant on live television. A weird clique of freaked out activists, sour schoolmarms and intellectually confused people are dragging Germany into the abyss, while our elected politicians stand around and make tepid suggestions."
