       A more independent Europe means homegrown, affordable, and reliable energy.  ⚡ So far: renewables and nuclear energy already make up over 70% of our electricity generation.  🔋 Next: we are accelerating grid connections and storage so no clean power goes to waste.  🔌 The future: we are launching a new electrification strategy this summer to make Europe more independent.  We are moving away from expensive fossil fuels and toward a system that works for our people and the planet.

       @EUCommission We need to make sure that there are enough connections between France and Spain

       @EUCommission And nuclear energy is not homegrown. And by the way, far too expensive.

       @EUCommission Eventually, some time in the future we’ll have a unified European Army, but meanwhile we certainly need to rethink NATO.Also rethink the Veto system.

       @EUCommission "Homegrown" nuclear energy?»#Russia, through state-owned #Rosatom controls a large share of the global nuclear fuel supply chain. The scale of this dominance is striking: Russia commands approximately 46% of global uranium enrichment capacity, 20% of conversion services, and serves as the primary supplier for VVER reactor types across the world including Central and Eastern Europe.For the European Union specifically, the dependency statistics are sobering. In 2023, EU utilities sourced 23% of their uranium from Russia directly, with an additional 21% coming from Kazakhstan, where Russian companies hold significant stakes through Uranium One company. Russian companies provided 22% of conversion services and a remarkable 38% of enrichment services to EU utilities in 2023.« (emphasis added)Fortunately, at least Germany has consigned this technology to the dustbin of history – and sadly, it can't do so with nuclear waste.Finland is the only country of the #EU that has a final disposal site. A single one.Go to hell with your greenwashing of "nuclear energy".https://hagueresearch.org/the-eu-is-dependent-on-russian-nuclear-fuel-but-not-for-long/

       @EUCommission Bookmarking to read the German bros comments later, I'm sure they're being totally normal about this one. 😶

       @EUCommission aaaah yes the beautiful home-grown uranium that powers those clean nuclear zero waste reactors, just dandelions and perfume coming out of them.*sigh*

       @EUCommissionWhen you're "accelerating grid connections and storage", ensure that you're boosting EU electrical components suppliers and EU battery cell and module manufacturers by the same token. Otherwise we only get into new dependencies. Especially the EU battery supply chain needs a strong subsidy boost if it should have a chance to be able to catch up with subsidized market leaders from China.

       @EUCommission Is it energy independence which will be accomplished and managed with the use of non-EU closed-source proprietary hardware & software?

       @EUCommission Can you please slap the German minister Reiche for her push towards Gas, Nuclear and Oil, while decelerating the expansion of renewables...?And by the way... Nuclear power is not climate friendly, neither is it cheap, nor does it make us independent. Y'all have any idea where "our" Uranium comes from?
