EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said on the 29th at the EU energy ministers meeting held in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, that since the war broke out in Iran at the end of February, the EU has spent an additional 100 billion euros to import the same amount of fossil fuels. Jorgensen told media reporters on the same day that although the EU has already paid 100 billion euros more for energy, “it has not received a single bit more natural gas or oil.” Jorgensen called on Europe to speed up the electrification process, reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels, and replace “expensive imported fossil fuels” with local green energy.
