Four years ago, European officials made a plan to reduce dependence on Russian gas and ramp up renewable energy, but a new study found it only reinforced existing decarbonization trajectories and missed the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate the clean energy transition.
the doomer in me says doubt it, but at least I can be smug when talking about how renewables would have prevented high energy prices and wide use of EVs would have likely reduced the impact on inflation
My colleagues bitched about how high the prices for gasoline are. I smiled and told them that I charged my EV for 2,40 € yesterday (30 kWh, with 0,08 €/kWh). With grid electricity it would’ve been roughly 6,60 €. Divide by 2 and you have the cost per 100 km.
