Critical Quote
“The fact that this winter may not be as challenging as we feared a couple of months ago does not justify complacency for next winter. There is a looming risk . . . We think gas markets will still be tight and volatile. This is an alarm bell for next winter as we believe we need to take immediate action now to avoid a shortage next year.”
— Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency |
