The UK announced its target of 95% clean power by 2030, but how does this compared against renewable power targets in Wales?
I estimate that if Wales is to remain a net exporter of electricity to England, we need to set target of 180% renewable ⚡ by 2030.

❄️ Europe must resist backsliding on coal cuts this winter.
🔌💡In the long run, a flexible 100% renewable energy system will be more reliable than fossil.

@Europarl_EN 🚨“Climate Plans Missing!”🚨 Last seen: somewhere between ambition and loopholes. If found, report to @WBHoekstra ASAP—#EUNECP needs a serious boost! 🌍✍️ #FairerClimatePlans
English
@Europarl_EN Hey @WBHoekstra, many #climateplans #EUNECP are still propping up fossil fuel subsidies, breaching EU law. NGOs have filed complaints—will you push for the action needed to fix this? #FairerClimatePlans

Turkey carried out massive air strikes on civilian targets in North-East Syria, killing and injuring dozens of people. Civilian infrastructure such as grain stores, power plants and administrative facilities have been targeted.
Take action!

BREAKING: the #nuclear referendum in #Slovenia planned for November is officially cancelled by Parliament. Reasons include malversations during the organisation, but also increasing opposition against manipulated information provision. Earlier coverage:

@AdrianHiel Actual RES targets for 2040. Most of the responses avoid the question. We cannot just rely on electrification and grids to do it all. And not a “low-carbon” target.

I am finalising an article on what Dan Jørgensen needs to do in his first 100 days as European Energy Commissioner. We have a good idea of what he wants to do in his Parliamentary answers - but what is missing? Or needs to be more explicit? hearings.elections.europa.eu/documents/jorg…

My job says I should look at the answers to the committee questions, but my heart says to look at the conflict of interest declarations and see who has a nice summer house on the coast

Solidarity with 18 of our comrades in @filistinicinbin who have been taken into police custody after calling on the Turkish state to stop supplying oil to Israel.
We call for their immediate release!
Filistin İçin Bin Genç@filistinicinbin
A WEEK AFTER THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE AL-AQSA FLOOD, 18 of our comrades who protested the Turkish government’s complicity via trade in the genocide in Istanbul on October 7th have been taken into police custody this morning. The hypocritical and two faced Erdoğan government can try to stamp us out but we will never cease to expose them! Never forget that a year into the genocide, Turkey still manages and lets petrol from Azerbaijan flow through Turkey, and shipped to Israel! We call on supporters of the Palestinian cause to stand in solidarity with our 18 comrades! Long live the global intifada ✌🏾🇵🇸

🇧🇪🦁BREAKING: Police has started an investigation into possible voter fraud in the municipality of Ninove.
Ninove is important as it could be the first ever town with a far-right VB local govt if they win an absolute majority. No coalition as parties across Flanders rule out VB.

🇧🇪🦁With 81% of the vote counted in the Flemish town of Sint-Niklaas:
Too close to call between centre-right N-VA at 26.8% and centre-left Vooruit at 26.0% that gains over 13 points.
Vooruit's leader Conner Rousseau is running for mayor of Sint-Niklaas.
Far-right VB also gains

It’s time for local elections in Belgium! 🇧🇪
My partner and I arrived to Brussels together, just under 5 years ago. She gets to vote as an EU citizen, however I have no say in how my commune is run. A deeply undemocratic law, affecting many communities more marginalised than I.
