Ireland at the Eurogroup: enough fossils, focus on renewables

“We have already seen two energy crises in five years – he adds – both with economic consequences for Europe and for Ireland, and this is due to our excessive dependence from fossil fuels, from decisions made by people living thousands of miles away.”

Therefore, he concludes, “we must accelerate the transition to renewable energy, and we must accelerate our energy security, both in Ireland and in the European Union”. Also the Finnish colleague Rikka Purra he said Europe must “accelerate” the energy transition towards renewables.
