❓Who's paying the most in extra energy costs because of the Hormuz crisis? ✔️ Europe 🇪🇺 But as we heard from EU President VDL in today's #SOTEU, there's no serious strategy to tackle this. Maybe she should stop taking advice from the fossil fuel industry? #FossilFreePolitics

Lot of people asking questions already answered by the sign

What do you do when there’s a vampire at the door? Don’t invite them in! The same thing goes for #fossilfuel industry, which profits from causing climate crisis. We need #FossilFreePolitics, yet #EU Commission joins #BigPolluters in #Brussels today Read more: corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat... 👇

Fossiiliteollisuus on vuosikymmeniä jarruttanut ilmastotoimia, lobannut kulisseissa, suojellut voittojaan ihmisten ja planeettamme kustannuksella. Tämä on tullut tiensä päähän. Siksi allekirjoitin FossilFreeMEP-sitoumuksen. @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social @corporateeurope.org @foeeurope.bsky.social

Together with the @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social coalition we have for *years* been banging on about the toxic influence of polluting companies on the EU policy debate by sponsoring media events for access Nice to see more attention on this – will media organisations now do anything about it though?

FFP is back in the European Parliament 🇪🇺 We brought together MEPs, scholars, and civil society representatives to discuss how to limit the influence of the fossil fuel lobby on EU decision making. We also launched a pledge for MEPs: fossilfreepolitics.org/mep-pledge/

Today, the European Parliament voted in favour of approving the US-EU trade deal. This is bad news for Europe’s energy security and transition, and it is a clear sign of the tight grip that the fossil fuel lobby has on the EU. Another example why we need #FossilFreePolitics now!

The climate needs a fair, fast and funded fossil fuel phase-out, so why did EU governments roll out the red carpet for the oil and gas industry at #COP30? Our take on this year's UN climate talks and what went down. #KickBigPollutersOut #FossilFreePolitics corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/c...

The Trojan horse of net zero 🐴 “Instead of focusing on the fossil phase-out, we’re funding a lifeline for the industry driving the crisis" said @kimclaes.bsky.social about the Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) tech. Listen to Argos's new podcast for the full story (NL) argos.vpro.nl/artikelen/go...

Gokken met CO2 onder de Noordzee: redmiddel of ramp?

Het is de belofte waar ons klimaatbeleid voor een groot deel op leunt: CO2 opvangen en voor altijd opslaan, bijvoorbeeld onder de Noordzee. Het heet Carbon Capture and Storage, ofwel CCS.

The Commission's Industrial Carbon Management Forum #ICMForum starts MONDAY. Decision makers and fossil lobbyists will plan how to roll-out #CCS, a proven-to-fail technofix that allows polluters to keep polluting at great public cost. New briefing: corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/m... @ec.europa.eu

Working with the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition, Fossil Free Politics has done some more digging at the EU level, and it's not pleasant reading - especially if you're 🇫🇷 French or 🇮🇹 Italian. Their governments have rolled out the red carpet once more for some of the planet's biggest climate criminals.
