EU doubles down on renewable energy targets, including biofuels and UK climate plan.

France has won a marginal victory in its bid to include nuclear power in the EU's new renewable energy rules, but at a high political cost. Negotiators from EU member countries and the European Parliament reached a provisional deal on the Renewable Energy Directive, which sets a mandatory bloc-wide renewables target of 42.5% by 2030. France fought to give hydrogen made from atomic energy a prominent role in the green legislation, but only won a concession that would allow countries with large amounts of atomic power to get a rebate from meeting a green energy sub-target for industry.
