COP28 : good ideas but a lack of commitment
The agreement reached at COP28 in Dubai may give an indication to achieve net zero by 2050, although the text leaves room for interpretation. But as all such climate deals, there is no enforcement mechanism to press the governments to implement such actions or to convince businesses that oil, gas and coal are no longer the solid investments they once were.

At the Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania, everything is huge. The building, which housed the two RBMK reactors and the engine room, is 660 metres long. The two 1500 MW reactors, commissioned in 1983 and 1987, were the most powerful in the world at the time.

So it’s hardly surprising that the plant’s employees speak with pride of their industrial heritage. But the closure of this Chernobyl-type boiling water plant was a sine qua non condition for Lithuania’s accession to the European Union. The reactors were definitively shut down in 2004 and 2009 respectively, and their dismantling is largely subsidised by the European Union. Read more
