EU energy import bill up $113.5 billion since Iran conflict

Original: Same oil & gas... but for a much bigger bill. EU countries have paid over US$113.5 BILLION EXTRA for energy imports sinc

EU countries have paid more than US$113.5 billion extra for oil and gas imports since the conflict involving Iran began, according to a claim pushed by Greenpeace. The group argues governments must shield households from the cost and accelerate investment in domestic wind and solar power to cut reliance on imported fossil fuels.

Why now: Rising energy import costs tied to the Iran conflict are hitting European consumers and renewing debate over the shift to renewables.
