Scooplet: Habemus majority in Berlin to abolish #Gasspeicherumlage, the controversial gas transit charge that makes it much more expensive for Eastern European countries to replace Russian gas with LNG from Western Europe. Key lever: EPP solidarity https://t.co/alyPcEhMo0

ICYMI (like me): to bring down power prices, Rome is kinda open to returning to RU gas https://t.co/4TMjxjgvnp

Very telling that most EU countries' energy ministers gave their take on "the future of energy policy" in their native languages. A German vision is very different from France's, Vienna's different from Brussels'. Notable: the adults who opted for English (Sweden, Slovaks ...)

Canada published its 2035 climate target with an underwhelming 45-50% GHG reduction compared to 2005 (~23-30% compared to 1990). This is a missed opportunity to put Canada on the modernisation and innovation path that could transform the economy away from #FossilFuels.

I wonder if the fact that the Commission is restricting the €14.5 mn EU support for green NGOs came up in the discussion?
