Not nice, and still fossil oriented. They like renewables as long as they are the ones owning it. They had "quotas" on residential solar hook ups for years. They are also pushing nuclear, despite the fact that for the same money you can have an equal amount of solar/wind/battery with twice the power and within three years. Nuclear takes 15-20 years and usually runs 300% over budget.
