Reaction: French Government Press Conference on Energy Prices

As the French government prepares to announce a new package of targeted financial aid for households suffering from rising fossil fuel prices, it must realise the urgent need for lasting action. Only greater energy efficiency and transition to renewable energy can protect people from volatile fossil fuels for good.

Myriam Douo, Senior Campaigner, Oil Change International, à dit:
“As French households suffer from rising fossil fuel costs, it’s clear that France must urgently transition away from volatile, dirty, and expensive fossil fuels. US LNG is already the most expensive for EU buyers, and is projected to become even more expensive. TotalEnergies, which imports significant amounts of LNG from the United States, puts energy affordability for French households in peril.”
