Following the publication of the European Energy Security Strategy today, Connie Hedegaard said:
''Energy security and the fight against climate change are inseparable: without climate policies there can't be energy security. And this is why energy efficiency and renewables will continue to be two key ingredients as they are good both for the climate and energy security. Europe is already saving 30 billion euro a year by replacing imported fossil fuels with locally produced renewable energy. In other words, we invest the money here in Europe instead of sending it to Putin's Russia and other fossil fuel providers outside Europe.''
