Lexa wrote that European gas prices have risen from around 28 euros per MWh in January to almost 74 euros today, an increase of 160 percent in nine months. With the upcoming winter in mind, she described the EU's energy system as vulnerable. As a cause, Lexa cited Brussels' energy policy: The accelerated phase-out of nuclear power and fossil fuels, as well as sanctions against cheap Russian gas, have, in her opinion, made Europe more dependent on expensive LNG and weather-dependent renewable energies. She stated that EU leadership has subordinated supply security to the Green Deal. According to Lexa, higher heating costs, looming energy poverty, and declining competitiveness are the consequences for citizens and industry. #Energiekrise #EU #Gaspreise (translated)
