The European Commission proposed some so-called "safeguards". But the proposed 550kgCO2e/kW/20years threeshold is laughable. It will be legally broken by fossil gas powerplanst in the next decade, but with no sanction whatsoever. That's sneaky greenwashing at its peak. 2/3
It's politically tragic. Short-sighted potent lobbies (nuclear & gas) teaming-up in a Frankenstein coalition, bending EU Commission and Parliament to their will.
It's the EU at its worse: the empire of greedy carpet merchants, where everything is for sale. 3/3
