Bleak winter ahead: Who’s to blame for Europe’s energy crisis?

 

Malte Kreutzfeldt, economy editor with the Berlin daily newspaper, the TAZ. His opinion: "To reach our climate goals, fossil fuels will have to become even more expensive. We must switch to renewables - the sooner the better."

 

 

 

Christoph Burger works with the Berlin-based European School of Management and Technology. He says "Russia‘s Gazprom is a global firm, that is simply trying to maximize profits. It’s the job of European policymakers to ensure sufficient competition on energy markets.“ 

 

 

Thierry Bros, energy expert and professor at SciencesPo-university. He believes: "It doesn't make sense to switch from nuclear to renewable energy as Germany does because it entails higher CO2 emissions."
