Euroviews. Old coal power plants can find a second life as clean energy hubs

Libya

Euroviews. A weak, Kremlin-influenced Libya is a threat to NATO and EU security

Russia's pursuit of a naval presence in Libya's eastern region, likely to culminate into a base for its nuclear submarines, provides Moscow with more than just a strategic outpost looking towards the entire EU, Hafed Al-Ghwell writes.

Euroviews. Keep the Big Oil lobby out of policymaking — like we did with tobacco

It is impossible to ignore the evidence of the harm caused by big oil and gas companies. Turning to them to decrease dependency on fossil fuels is like asking the tobacco industry for advice on how to stop smoking, Anna Gilmore writes.

Nature

Euroviews. Europe has to set aside the pesticides row and turn toward solutions

Euroviews. Will the EU take a step backwards in evidence-based policymaking?

Euroviews. If the EU wants to be a global power, it needs a new 'Big Bang' now

At the end of the day, people on both sides of the border must be reassured of the potential for prosperity for the next generation of Europeans. If the past is any indication of the future, we can safely say that the business case is indisputable, Stefano Mallia writes.
