Former commissioners urge EU to decarbonise over Russia
By EUobserver
Eleven former EU commissioners have urged the current executive not to swap Russian fossil fuels for other polluting energy sources in the sanctions machinations. "Simply diversifying the import of fossil fuels will only serve to maintain EU energy dependence on other countries, many of which do not respect EU values," they said in an open letter Tuesday, which promoted wind and solar solutions instead, Reuters reports.
