"I voted in favour of the Saudargas report because it is clear to me that the path to energy security lies in energy transition, putting energy efficiency first, promoting renewables, and investing money domestically to develop our green technologies industry and create jobs rather than wasting scarce resources on expensive imports.
That is why I find it baffling that conservatives in Parliament, including Tories, voted down plans to guarantee European energy security.
Given our current dependence on energy imports from unreliable partners like Russia, the enormous threat posed to our security by climate change, and the crucial importance of the renewables and green energy sector for the real economy, I find their decision to side with vested interests rather than standing behind the well-being of our citizens completely incomprehensible.
By establishing an ambitious energy security strategy, the EU can play a crucial role in protecting our citizens against the possibly devastating consequences of sudden disruptions of gas supplies, as already experienced by some Member States which were hit hard by disruptions in the winters of 2006 and 2009, and put us firmly on the path towards sustainable job creation."@en1
