Europe has set a clear goal for full decarbonization by 2050, with renewables-based electricity set to become the dominant energy carrier, and that means fossil gas will have “only a marginal role” in the long run, EU climate chief Frans Timmermans said on Thursday (25 March).
By 2050, Europe’s energy system will be changed fundamentally, with ten times more solar and onshore wind power than today, said Timmermans, the European Commission’s executive vice-president in charge of the Green Deal.
And “at the end of that road, there will be no more space for coal, very little room for oil, and only a marginal role for fossil gas,” he said in a keynote speech at the annual conference of Eurogas, an industry trade association.
“So instead of waiting for the inevitable and face ever higher costs of transition, it’s better to adapt, prepare and adopt new sustainable business models,” he said, warning: “the longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes.” […]
“I want to be crystal clear: fossil fuels have no viable future,” he told participants at the Eurogas event. “And that also goes for fossil gas, in the longer run.”
“The future,” he continued, “is in carbon-free electricity and a decarbonized gas sector, which embraces hydrogen as an energy carrier and green hydrogen as the final destination.” …

What do you say when you meet your friend, Drogen?
Idiot ! He is an idiot.
Where is all that electricity going to come from ?
And that’s today’s Daily Double.
And just like that the brilliant central planners will wave their magic wand and everyone will fall in to place like little cogs and they can all have a high paying job working at the John Kerry memorial Solar Panel Factory.
Rolling coal
What do you plan to run your MILITARY on, sir????
Euroweenies destined to freeze in the dark a few winters for now; maybe the muslims will go home where its warm

Yes....and he might want to consider the down products of oil, gas and coal
Gas is the feed stock for polystyrenes....raw material for plastics
Coal produces everything from tar, asphalt, agro-chemicals and numerous other chemicals, and a few pharmaceiticals
Oil all of the above.
Best bet yet for the future energy is sub surface liquid methane....big deposits off the Atlantic East Coast.
We’ll be sitting at the opening to our caves, with an open fire.
Well if that’s the case then the market will dictate that. If you have to make someone “nonviable” by force that hardly makes your prediction accurate.
Hydrogen molecules are too small to easily contain.
Many people are beyond stupid.
Enjoy freezing, fools.
Timmerman is not viable beginning...now. Dufus.
You are one of the very few who has figured out it is not “fossil fuel.” Congratulations.
Thank u very much. 😀👍
