The cover of this week’s Economist.
The headline says “Only 1361 days to go” The picture in black and white with a cream background is of a badly injured bald eagle. Its legs are in bandages with strapping around its neck and on its head. Some of its feathers are lying on the ground, detached painfully from its body.

"Fossil fuels are losing their grip on EU energy. At the start of the European Green Deal in 2019, few thought the EU’s energy transition could be where it is today; wind and solar are pushing coal to the margins and forcing gas into structural decline"

Big new @ember-energy.org report on EU energy
European Electricity Review 2025 | Ember
