After escaping Russian energy dependence, Europe is locking itself in to US LNG


Sree VijaykumarFollowing her State of the European Union address to the European Parliament last week, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen got an earful from MEPs angry about her “surrender deal” with Donald Trump. Iratxe Garcia Perez, leader of the centre-left S&D group, blasted von der Leyen’s hypocrisy in calling for Europe to have courage and fight when she herself showed no courage with Trump. "You went to Scotland to bury Europe's strategic autonomy under a golf course,” she told her.

Green group leader Bas Eickhout questioned how she could say in her speech she still cares deeply about climate change, even as she and her EPP group have spent the first ten months of her second term dismantling some of the climate legislation she passed in her first term. “You said we need to be energy independent, but at the same time you sign a Trump deal that promises a $750 billion investment in American [LNG] energy that is dirtier than what we had before. That to replace the Russian LNG gas that is only $10 billion per year for now. These numbers don’t add up…We should invest this money in European renewables and European industry, because renewables are the worst enemy of fossil autocrats.”
