"Mr President, we need energy. We need it to heat our homes, to provide the businesses that create our food, and we even need it for this Chamber. But energy has a cost. The EU wants a low—carbon secure and competitive economy; they have created this framework strategy for a resilient Europe with a forward—looking climate change policy.
This sounds positive, optimistic, an energy utopia – but it is not the reality people will live in, is it? EU policy will control the sources, flow, distribution, delivery and billing of the whole of the European energy industry. It will suppress national governments’ abilities to provide the best energy services and prices for their people. In truth, once again, it is a classical big government power grab. Infrastructure will be paid for by the taxpayer, corporate subsidies will be paid for by the taxpayer, and higher bills will be paid for by the taxpayer, while all profits will be distributed between the EU and global corporations. The user is always the loser in the EU."@en1
