‘Frustrated’ EU countries resolve renewables feud with concession for France

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:29:56 GMT

EU ambassadors on Friday agreed to new rules boosting green energy, overcoming a French-led deadlock by offering Paris a concession on hydrogen and nuclear energy.For weeks, talks on the Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII) stalled as a French-led coalition sought carve-outs in the text including a greater role for atomic energy — much to the irritation of nuclear-skeptic countries including Luxembourg, Austria and Germany.REDIII, one of the last outstanding files in the Commission’s mammoth Fit for 55 climate package, aims to bring the share of renewables in the bloc’s overall energy mix to 42.5 percent by 2030.The agreement was based on a proposal by the Swedish Council presidency that added an amendment to the legal text that “acknowledged” the difficulties in asking hard-to-abate ammonia facilities to stop using fossil hydrogen. The add-on is accompanied by a Commission declaration, seen by POLITICO, where the EU executive said it would “on a case by...

The Orioles’ James McCann has a ‘new perspective on life’ since becoming a father of twins born in NICU

Christian McCann has discovered, in his mind, a grave injustice.Earlier this month, the 5-year-old son of James and Jessica McCann broached the subject with his father.“Daddy, it’s not fair,” Christian exclaimed. “You play more games than we do.”Christian and his twin brother, Kane, are now playing coach pitch baseball, and they can’t get enough. James, a 10-year major league veteran now with the Orioles, chuckled, as parents with curious children often do.“I don’t think you want to play 162 games yet,” James replied. “But maybe one day.”However, his boys’ love of baseball might not have been possible, the McCanns say, without the neonatal intensive care unit where Christian and Kane spent the first seven weeks of their lives.“If it weren’t for the people at the hospital that took care of us, we may not have two healthy boys right now,” Jessica said. “We owe so much thanks to those people...
