A decline in fossil fuel power is now ‘inevitable’, the report’s authors say.

          Right, but I don’t see anything in the title or the article itself about 30% being “sufficient.” To the contrary, the article quotes Sarah Brown, energy think tank Ember’s European program director:

          The EU is “very much on the way” to its goal of having renewable sources account for 72 per cent of power generation by 2030.

          This article is a celebration of a milestone that was crossed for the first time, no mention of 30% being sufficient. You’re assigning meaning that’s not there.

            Their job is to pass legislation that is sufficient to curb the climate catastrophe. This shows that they are woefully incapable of doing their job

              Firstly the article does not say that 30% is sufficient. Secondly, this was always going to be a journey. We don’t get to near 100% without first going through 30%. The article wasn’t saying 30% is enough it was saying that the trajectory is positive.
