The EU response to the US #IRA is rather pathetic. Its main element of matching #subsidies suggests a lack of a substantive industrial strategy. The national approach will not create a level playing field in Europe, even under the envisaged restrictions.

The threat by #VW to build battery plants in the US and stop its plans for Europe very much looks like an attempt at blackmailing the German government for financial subsidies. This is a very concrete example of why the US IRA and the European response are so detrimental. …
The subsidy race does not improve innovation or competition, but rather implies a net transfer of taxpayer money to big companies. The EU should rather focus on improving conditions for private investment (infrastructure, R&D, deepen the single market).

1/ Waarom klimaat- en milieuvriendelijke #gascentrales superieur zijn aan #biomassacentrales als het gaat om #klimaat-impact en #vervuiling. Een draadje. 👇 
2/ #Biomassacentrales worden vaak gepromoot als een "schone" energiebron, maar in werkelijkheid stoten ze aanzienlijke hoeveelheden #CO2 uit. Volgens een studie van de #EU stoten #biomassacentrales vaak zelfs meer #CO2 uit dan kolen- of gascentrales!
Uit een rapport vandaag gepubliceerd door 5 (inter)nationale milieuorganisaties blijkt dat grootste #certificeringsprogramma (SBP)voor houtkap niet voldoet aan de NL #duurzaamheidscriteria. Toch verstrekt de overheid miljarden aan #biomassasubsidies 1-5

Nu blijkt dat SBP-certificering geen garantie is dat aan #subsidiecriteria wordt voldaan, dient NL overheid de subsidies voor #houtpellets door SBP gecertificeerd, stop te zetten en besluit om SBP te erkennen als #duurzaamheidsstandaard te heroverwegen.

Desperate response of CEO Drax Will Gardiner @ddwg to @BBC Panorama “Green scandal exposed” shows great opportunism. But repeating the so-called 'sustainability credo' of energy industry does not make industrial tree burning ‘green’ or ‘clean’ (2-8)

Behouden EU lidstaten recht om #bosverbranding te subsidiëren voor energie of gaat er een streep door deze #klimaatmaatregel? Die vraag ligt op tafel nu het @Europarl_NL Parlement gaat stemmen over nieuwe richtlijn

[thread] Are #energy #taxes and #subsidies in the #EU & #UK aligned with the stated #climate targets? If you ever wanted to know the answer, please check out a new book by Philip Booth and myself “Carbon Conundrum: How to Save Climate Change Policy from Government Failure” 1/n
#Climate change is real, it is caused by man-made emissions and – if unchecked – will impose huge costs. Sound policies may promote cost-effective emissions cuts; but ill-designed policies shall inflict unnecessary costs while not achieving the desired environmental targets 2/n
Energy is both taxed and subsidized. In principle, taxation should reflect negative externalities and subsidization should reflect positive externalities in order to align the private and social costs of using energy 3/n
Verstrekte subsidies voor stook #biomassa worden (nog) niet ingetrokken. Dat zou ‘onfatsoenlijk bestuur’ zijn, aldus @RobJetten.

Omwille van de #luchtkwaliteit en natuur, moeten we bossen beschermen niet verbranden voor energie. Meer #bomen verbranden komt de #energiezekerheid vd EU niet ten goede omdat biomassacentrales in de EU al miljoenen tonnen bos importeren uit o.a Rusland, Oekraïne & VS

It is the Kharif season - cash is king, cash crops is emperor.
The region has sown Soybean, Cotton & Lentil (Tur Dal). Tur dal is more of a space filler interspersed amongst the columns of the cash crops.

Soybean has a short cropping cycle. Much of the crop in this season has been destroyed or has got stunted due to poor quality seeds, unseasonal rains, or crop infections. #Khet

Worth noting this is a primarily ideological stance.
The Government doesn’t appear to have plans to shift to the UK economy to Scandinavian levels of State spending.
Quadrupling State aid would bring the UK on par with Germany (who, of course, are subject to the same rules).

However don’t underestimate how ingrained a dislike of State aid regulation is amongst Boris Johnson’s inner circle.
I understand the most hardline voices on this subject have been the two Dominics (Cummings and Raab). This isn’t a recent position either.

Perhaps obvious to climate nerds out there, but #IMF #fossilfuel #subsidies report has important implications for #carbonpricing THREAD
It’s VERY hard to take #carbonpricing seriously when #fossilfuel #subsidies create a countervailing negative price. /1
Beyond obvious enviro and econ damage, subsidies do not bode well for sub-national and regional pricing policies. Optimists point to local/subnat’l initiatives as sources of bottom-up approaches. Some of these will be limited by idiot federal policies like #subsidies /2
