Europe's green hydrogen strategy took a blow today as its flagship Namibia partnership looks unlikely to deliver. Meanwhile, Google's massive Finland bet and UK energy bill politics show the messy reality of the transition.

The TUC wants a 'social tariff' for UK energy bills, funded by reversing a bank surcharge cut. Multiple outlets are covering this, and it's a concrete test of whether Labour will tax finance to ease the cost-of-living crisis.
Wind and solar developers face a new, harder reality, and India's storage mandate exposes a China dependency.
Wind and solar developers are being told to 'cut the BS' and face grid integration, supply chain, and regulatory hurdles. It's a useful corrective to the idea that renewables are a simple switch.
India's new draft rules mandate battery storage for all new government solar and wind projects. But India makes less than 1% of its own batteries, so the green push is also a China dependency play.
