Serious energy crisis in Europe
170
Europe has a serious energy crisis. The reason is the war in Iran. Prices for oil and gas go up fast. Europe buys much energy from other countries. This costs over 30 billion Euro extra now. Christine Lagarde leads the bank for Europe. She says: We need more own energy. We must build wind energy and sun energy fast. This makes Europe safe and independent.
The air traffic has problems too. The airport in Frankfurt grows less. There is not enough Kerosin for planes. Strikes at Lufthansa make the situation harder. The EU Commission warns of a hard time. They watch the fuel stocks now. They want to see shortages early. Experts say: The crisis shows weaknesses in Europe.
The countries in Europe must work together better. Today each country often thinks only of itself. Wind power from the north must go south. Sun power from the south must go north. Europe needs better power lines for this. Only together can Europe solve the crisis. This saves money and protects the nature.
