Maybe there is a reason why they use this title. Ofcourse green energy is good, but we have been there for a while. Obviously, not a problem yet in Canada or in the USA. So it seems Europeans should be happy, while ignoring or marginalizing the nuances and problems of the current energy & electricity systems. The grid is congested and causes electricity fall out (Grid congestion is posing challenges for energy security and transitions. Also there are companies being paid to use electricity in energy machines that do absolutely nothing, (except deburden the grid by consuming electricity). And they make good money with that.
