Heatwaves & droughts put pressure on our energy systems. This week, two coal plants in 🇵🇱 were forced offline due to critically low water levels in the Vistula. Even coal plants can be victim to the problems they created. Poland needs to plan a coal exit. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/08/06/h...

"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone," writes @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. "The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties."

Batteries let renewables work 24/7 so we can ditch fossil fuels for good.  But battery projects stuck in grid queues already exceed national 2030 targets by 2–3x… Delaying storage means: 📈 gas dependence 📉 wasted renewable electricity 📉 energy insecurity beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/06/02/g...

Firefighters are risking their lives to protect communities across Europe, but governments need to tackle what makes these fires more frequent, deadly, and destructive: our continued dependence on fossil fuels. Clean, homegrown energy? Essential for a safer planet for us and future generations.

When did we start normalising "wildifire season" altogether?

A community in 🇩🇪 has waited over a year to connect rooftop solar on a housing complex to the grid. They have the panels. They made the investment. But local grid queues mean they're are still waiting for affordable, clean electricity. What's the fix? @ben-eg.bsky.social youtu.be/cwdc4QE7Nv4

Germany’s outdated grids are delaying the energy transition

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

Have you heard of TotalEnergies & EPH’s new deal? We’ve got the lowdown on this bad bet for Europe’s energy future, and a rigged game that loads the dice in favour of imported fossil gas. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/05/20/t...

People in Italy are particularly exposed to the current fossil fuel crisis because of the extent to which the country relies on imported fossil gas, @reuters.com reports: www.reuters.com/business/ene... But that is not just bad luck. It’s poor decision-making and planning ⬇️

🇪🇺 is making heat pumps cool again. Across 12 countries, heat pump sales have seen a 16.5% increase compared to last year. Why? Perhaps an early indication that green technologies may be benefiting from higher fossil fuel prices stemming from the war in Iran. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/23/c...

"From soaring prices at gas stations to flight cancellations over jet fuel shortages, we're learning the hard way – again – that dependence on fossil fuel imports has a price." 👏 Read more in @theeuropeancorreua.bsky.social 📖 👀 europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/the-ene...

TotalEnergies and EPH call it a need for “flexgen”, but really it's just a bad bet. Their new joint venture will deepen Europe’s dependence on expensive fossil gas & keep profits flowing to two of 🇪🇺's big fossil players. It won't cut bills or boost energy security. renewablesnow.com/news/totalen...

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

Is coal really making a comeback? The data says no. Coal power and generation is falling globally. Meanwhile, wind & solar added ~1100TWh in 2025 alone. And even where coal is debated, its role is marginal. This isn't a coal comeback story, it’s a renewables story. euobserver.com/211295/there...

There is no coal comeback

Talk of a 'coal comeback' in the wake of the blockade of the Persian Gulf are disproven by data showing coal generation is down globally.

Europe could deploy 700+ GW of fossil-free flexibility by 2050, up from ~150 GW in 2030. That’s nearly 4× Europe’s gas plant capacity today! Reminder: clean flexibility CAN replace gas and keep power systems reliable.

It's outrageous to know how much public money is going to the ultrarich fossil fuel industry while policy-makers have *the easiest decision* to make to keep electricity reliable and affordable

Geopolitical tensions are once again exposing the fragility of fossil fuel supply chains. Gas can’t guarantee energy security. Europe needs a smarter, cleaner way to keep electricity reliable and affordable: clean flexibility.

“Seeking alternative gas suppliers is a distraction from the real solutions. Only by ramping up investments in homegrown renewable energy & energy savings can Europe get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster & get electricity prices under control” @taraconnolly.bsky.social @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social

The real story: Europe is still too exposed to fossil-fuel shocks — and stronger grids plus more renewables remain its best shield. Read the full piece by Eliška Volencová, Stefano Cisternino and Olaya Argüeso Pérez on our website: buff.ly/jqT8Cpq

What if school roofs did more than keep the rain out? In 🇹🇷, schools and universities are saving money & protecting students’ future by generating solar power on their roofs. Every rooftop that generates power: 👍 reduces fossil fuels 👍 cuts emissions 👍 shows how local action can benefit the country

As conflict in the Middle East escalates, civilians pay the highest price as homes, safety & livelihoods are hit. Fossil gas markets are exposed to conflict, chokepoints & bidding wars. Energy security comes from renewables & clean flexibility, not fossil gas. 🎢Time to get off the gas rollercoaster.

Remember, when oil & gas prices surge, so do risks to our energy system. There's a strong alternative. Our new report by The Brattle Group shows that pairing renewables & clean flexibility keeps the grid reliable WITHOUT locking us into fossil fuel volatility. beyondfossilfuels.org/2026/02/23/c...

While Siemens Energy is celebrating record revenues in its first ever public AGM and continuing to promote its ‘green’ credentials, we can't forget that it's also the 2nd largest global supplier of gas turbines for gas-fired plants under development around the world. So we came by to protest.

Why are some Europeans countries still importing Russian fossil fuels, including LNG? Europe should (and can) avoid: 👉 Being at the mercy of autocratic regimes 👉 Fueling the climate crisis 👉 Paying unaffordable energy bills 👉 Locking into decades of gas infrastructure 👉 Fueling wars

Russia’s war is entering year 5, yet the EU has paid €200B+ for Russian energy since 2022, incl. €38B for #LNG. Our new graphic shows which countries are still buying and funding Russia’s war. The 20th #sanctions package must close loopholes and finally stop Russian LNG.

We all know renewables cut emissions & boost energy security, but they can go even further with a helping hand. Meet clean flexibility: storage, demand response, smarter grids. Having one without the other is like leaving the house half dressed. You need both. Watch the video break it down 👇
