Soaring energy prices and lack of supply across Europe have created an unprecedented emergency for households, businesses, and states. They are a stark reminder of potential dangers of uncoordinated energy agendas. While much of the focus has understandably been devoted to the present winter, there are no easy answers well beyond this year. The United States and the European Commission have expressed strong commitment to Europe’s energy independence and security, and to accelerating the global transition to renewable, clean energy. This partnership will require ongoing conversations about the potential sources of energy in the immediate and long-term future; structuring standards to meet the dual goals of securing emergency energy requirements and ensuring emissions reductions; and building new infrastructure that allows for the transition to sustainable and secure energy.
