The greenwashing of gas, a fossil fuel, as a sustainable investment has been kicked to long grass⚠️

Why does this spell trouble?🚨It creates new political alliance:

🇫🇷 Gov batting for nuclear industry
+
🇩🇪Gov fighting for gas lobby

#EUTaxonomy THREAD👇
euractiv.com/section/energy…
Now gas advocates🇩🇪 and pro-nuclear🇫🇷 have the opportunity to join forces and classify their preferred energy source as sustainable🧐

Gas is a fossil fuel🚨

Labelling it a 'sustainable' investment will syphon funds meant to support the green transition and #EUGreenDeal
On TRANSPORT the EU wants to classify...

Dirty cargo ships🚢burning bunker fuel 😷
+
Fossil gas buses🚐🔥 as sustainable investments🚨

Holding back decarbonisation of European transport, our biggest source of GHG emissions
Then there's NATURE...

The EU plans to classify logging🪚and burning trees for energy🔥as green investments

If confirmed, the #EUTaxonomy will FAIL nature
The EU Commission is due to publish its decision on Wednesday⏰

We ask @VDombrovskis and @McGuinnessEU

Please listen to the scientists’ recommendations and kick fossil gas, logging, and burning trees out of the #EUTaxonomy!
