We hope you've managed to catch some of this weekend's inspiring events around the world. Theresa May famously attacked the idea of a global citizen - in the year that Volt was founded by global citizens in Europe to tackle global issues in a united and outward-looking Europe.

*** Social Care ***

What are your views on the increased NI contributions to pay for the NHS and social care?

Why do we have to wait 2 years for the social care changes to take effect. How many of our older citizens will lose their homes and savings in that time?

The world is in the midst of a climate crisis, and what we need are no more empty promises but concrete plans for action.

Moving towards renewable energies means that energy systems will rely more and more on volatile electricity generation. Therefore, Volt advocates for the need to integrate electric storage systems, such as batteries, compressed air reservoirs, or power to gas systems (P2G) more efficiently in our European grids. We will:

👉 Support enhanced research on the development of smart electricity grids at the European level;

👉 Promote enhanced and harmonised financing of relevant infrastructure;

👉 Introduce an EU-wide infrastructure of high Voltage “electricity-motorways” and storage systems funded by the EU budget.

If you want to learn more about our plans for addressing the climate crisis, stay tuned for more content shortly!
