Interview Cuffe on ending Russian energy imports & LNG terminal

News that the EU is spending a whopping one billion euro (€1bn) every day on Russian energy supplies have left many of us scratching our heads and wondering how the EU became so reliant on Russia for oil, gas and coal. 

The European Commission this week announced more sanctions against Russia including a ban on coal imports.  But so far EU countries haven’t agreed to embargo oil and gas because some of them are highly dependent on Russia for their energy supplies.

On Thursday the overwhelming majority of MEPs voted for an immediate embargo on imports of Russian oil, gas, nuclear fuel and coal. Green Party MEP Ciarán Cuffe says it’s time to wean ourselves off fossil fuels and accelerate the development of renewable energy sources. He spoke to Karen Coleman (Editor EuroParlRadio) in Strasbourg about the energy crisis.
