Did your energy bill increase dramatically recently? Rest assured, you're not alone.
Europe, and most of the rest of the world is experiencing "historically high energy prices" - with disastrous consequences for the millions of people who live in energy poverty. But why now? What caused this spike?
And how does it affect our journey towards more renewables? After all, some might say that more renewables will threaten the security of supply and make prices increase even more?
At the exact same time, the EU released its "taxonomy", a list of activities deemed green and in which investors can safely invest. Guess what? Nuclear and fossil gas are included despite being - obviously - no green sources of energy. So what's the story behind this? How does that affect our depency on Russia for gas supply? And more importantely, what can we do to prevent this non sense?
Tara Connolly, senior gas campaigner at Global Witness answered all our (something naive) questions on the issue and gave us hope about our energy future.
