📣 New EU Gas Exit Pathway: EU can halve its #fossilgas use by 2030 & completely phase it out by 2050, with less renewable #hydrogen than planned in #REPowerEU while fully ensuring security of supply, without disruptive behavioral changes. Findings ⬇️ bit.ly/3VACYBo 1/9
An accelerated #fossilgas phase-out is possible through structural demand reductions in #energy, #buildings & #industry➡️ key measures: a quick ramp-up of #renewableenergy, electrification and energy efficiency. 2/9 
In the power sector, the fastest way to reduce gas demand is by ramping up wind & solar. Aim: 70% renewables-based power generation by 2030 & 85% by 2040. Deep geothermal & large-scale heat pumps will also help reduce gas demand in district heating generation. 3/9

Portugal’s government crisis is an interesting case for the interplay between domestic politics (on.ft.com/3EjJjas), the #EuropeanSemester draft budget plans and #NextGenEU more broadly.
Why? The national parliament is quite powerful in Economic Governance. A thread. 1/10

The “strength” of the 🇵🇹 parliament in the budget process itself is modest. Still it is not completely powerless like France or Ireland:

Portugal had struggles over budgets in the Eurocrisis, internally and with the EU institutions, partly because its parliament is active in EU affairs. Examples are from 2011 and 2017:

1- Hoy he tenido la oportunidad de participar en el 35 Encuentro de la Industria Digital de @AMETIC_es en #santander35. Os dejo un resumen de mi intervención: "La Era de la Hipercompetición en I+D"
2- La Covid-19 ha sido una gran máquina del tiempo. Nos ha devuelto a 1945 en geopolítica (competición estratégica entre bloques: EEUU y, esta vez, China); pero hemos saltado una década (hasta 2031) en digitalización
3- China va disparada a convertirse en la gran potencia científica, tecnológica e industrial del planeta en un lapso de 5-10 años. Su modelo: de la industria a la ciencia. Primero, consolidar base industrial, después reforzarla con investigación y tecnología.

Important thread by @PawelZerka on the domestic dimension of the #RuleOfLaw debate in #Poland.
To be honest, I feel optimistic & reassured if the hurdles are so low.
The second and the third point are only face saving measures...

Lots of smoke & mirrors in fight over rule of law. Here's my take in @POLITICOEurope on what's really going on: "If European leaders want to escape this autocracy trap, they must begin by standing up forcefully to regimes that try to hold the EU hostage"🧵

2. First, on how we got here, it all goes back to @EPP appeasement of their pet autocrat Orbán over past decade. "The EPP has protected Orbán for political gain... But this week its pet autocrat turned against his long-time protectors" They are now reaping what they sowed.
3. As those who follow me know, I've been writing about this for years - most recently in my Article on "The European Union's Authoritarian Equilibrium" - summarized here:
