Abstract
Europe produces fewer and fewer fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) and imports them more and more. Even if the EU intends to green all its energy, there still is a very long way to go: 40 years or so. Until then, will the EU get enough energy at the right time and location? Will external producers and various transit countries invest enough and in a timely manner according to the European needs? Will our internal market and our grids make energy flow well wherever we would need it? Will we keep every grid and storage asset “national only” and will we build and operate no common asset at all at the no the EU level? Should any EU framework protect us all vis à vis the rest of the world? Wouldn’t we be slightly stronger if really united at the EU level?
