Reply to comment by chrisdh79 in The European Union to nearly double the share of renewables in the 27-nation bloc's energy consumption by 2030 amid efforts to become carbon neutral and ditch Russian fossil fuels. by chrisdh79
> The move also comes as the EU has sought to slash its dependence on Russian fossil fuels after Moscow cut gas supplies last year and the bloc placed bans on seaborne crude and other petroleum products from the country.

Reply to Huawei Spent Almost $24 Billion on R&D in 2023 to Deal With US Tech Sanctions, Founder Says by tomato-is-vegetable
This has got plusses and minuses. It's good to see more money poured in to AI development, but in this case it was because of sanctions, and the world economy becoming split is detrimental to ordinary people. The sanctions may cause money to be wasted on redundant R&D that reduplicates effort elsewhere. Still, I bet Huawei made some great progress with their $24 billion.

"The figure is a compromise between the 45 percent share for renewables that was sought by EU lawmakers and the European Commission, the EU's executive branch, and the 40 percent preferred by the states. "
