Can Europe Fix Its Energy Crisis Without Losing Industry & Competitiveness?
Episode details
Episode description
Europe is in the middle of an energy reality check. Prices remain high. Industries are under pressure. And global competitors like the United States and China are moving fast with cheaper, more secure energy systems. So where does that leave Europe? In this episode of @thedranaissance , we sit down with Ditte Juul Jørgensen, Director-General at the Directorate-General for Energy (@EuropeanCommission) to unpack the biggest questions shaping Europe’s future: Why are energy prices in Europe structurally higher? Is Europe losing industrial competitiveness? What is the realistic energy mix for the next decade? Can clean energy and affordability go hand in hand? How exposed is Europe to global energy geopolitics? From LNG and nuclear to offshore wind and hydrogen, this conversation cuts through ideology and focuses on what will actually work. Because energy is no longer just a climate issue. It’s economic power. It’s security. It’s Europe’s place in the world.
