EU Accelerates Shift to Renewable Energy and Acknowledges Role of Nuclear Power.
TL;DR Summary
The EU has reached a provisional deal to increase its 2030 renewable energy targets to 42.5%, with an additional 2.5% "indicative top-up" to reach a 45% share, as it seeks to rapidly cut emissions and reduce its dependence on Russia. The proposal must now be approved by EU member states' representatives in the Council and then in Parliament. The EU aims to be carbon neutral by 2050 and wants net greenhouse gas emissions to be cut by at least 55% by 2030.
