"Mr President, it has been said that we do not need an Energy Union because we have the European Union. Well, in actual fact, we have a European Union but we do not have an Energy Union. I hope that today’s proposals will be the first step in ensuring that we do have one as soon as possible. We have also learned in recent times that it is very dangerous to put all your eggs in one basket, particularly when that basket is a Russian basket, so we have to diversify supply, in particular to ensure security.
I think energy terminals are one way to make the world our oyster in terms of being able to avail of the shale gas revolution etc. in the United States. Within Europe we have also got to do far more in renewables – renewables that are cost-effective. I think an Energy Union will help to make that happen, particularly in areas like wind – which we have a surfeit of all over northern Europe – sun in the south of Europe, biomass possibly, but also, as Mr Petersen mentioned, district heating and cooling. It is a very easy and cost-effective way to make it happen."@en1
