[The EU has spent over 100 billion euros in additional energy costs this year] September 29, local time, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen told reporters before an informal meeting of EU energy ministers in Dublin that although the EU has imported the same amount of energy this year as in previous years, its energy costs have exceeded 100 billion euros in additional costs, and the upcoming winter may be full of challenges. Jorgensen said imported fossil fuels should be replaced by renewable energy and electricity produced locally in Europe. Asked about a possible U.S. ban on diesel exports, Jorgensen said he had sent "a very clear signal to U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright that such a measure would be neither in the interests of the U.S. nor the EU." Jorgensen stressed that the EU is about to enter a challenging winter. As winter approaches, Europeans are increasingly concerned about energy prices. (CCTV News)
