(Does that count as gaslighting? Sorry.)
- Isolus 4y agoThe cited article says "a bridge for a limited transition period" and not "green energy". So no, they don't want to label it green energy, they only prefer it to other fossil fuels and nuclear but the goal is to phase out natural gas as well.
- tpmx 4y agoThe DW headline is "European Commission declares nuclear and gas to be green". Is the state-owned DW/ARD not a trustworthy news source?
- Isolus 4y agoThe article cites "gas and nuclear were labeled as "transitional" energy sources in the taxonomy". So the news itself is correct but the headline abbreviates this very badly.
