"Madam President, I am delighted to say that for once ordinary people are benefiting from an international development: oil and gas prices are falling. This is happening because friendly countries like the USA and Canada are opening up new fuel sources bringing down energy costs. One result is that we become less dependent upon unstable countries and unfriendly regimes. Another is that fuel costs come down for hard-pressed working people living through austerity. Good news for a new year but not of course if you are a Green. They want to do all they can to torpedo these developments.
The Commission must not press for any agreement or sets of targets which will reduce or even reverse financial relief for hard-pressed taxpayers. It is after all the EU which created a currency full of structural flaws with disastrous consequences for the standard of living of millions. They must not compound their errors in the name of fighting climate change, especially as in recent years the climate has stubbornly refused to match the apocalyptic and dystopian forecasts."@en1
