EU Faces Major Dependence on Imported Fossil Fuels

RFI Monde Berlin 15d15d Impact 8

The German government is not calling for reduced energy consumption or limiting fossil fuel dependence, unlike in 2022. Instead, they are seeking to diversify energy sources. Renewables are significantly cheaper than fossil fuels, and dependence on them makes consumers vulnerable. Sixty nations are scheduled to convene for discussions on phasing out fossil fuels. The United States will not be participating in these talks. The meeting aims to coordinate global efforts towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Government representatives from over 40 countries are meeting this week to discuss proposals for exiting fossil fuels. A group of researchers has developed concrete suggestions, including abolishing subsidies for coal, oil, and gas for both production and consumption. They also propose banning new fossil fuel infrastructure and advertising for climate-damaging flights and cruises.

“la dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Ils cherchent plutôt à diversifier les sous-titres. Nous devons sortir des énergies fossiles, notre dépendance fait de nous des victimes, elles sont trop coûteuses, les renouvelables sont beaucoup moins cher. Sortir des énergies fossiles, ce n'est pas la direction que prennent les autorités fédérales. Depuis cette nouvelle crise énergétique et contrairement au choc de 2022, le gouvernement de Friedrich Merz n'appelle pas les Allemands à moins consommer. Il ne sait pas non plus de limiter la dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Ils cherchent plutôt à diversifie”
