In response to the Iran war and the resulting energy crisis, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen on Tuesday urged Europeans to reduce travel—particularly driving and flying—and to work from home where possible.
Jørgensen told Politico the continent is looking at a prolonged energy crisis. “Even if … peace is here tomorrow, still we will not go back to normal in the foreseeable future,” he said.
He also called on EU countries to step up efforts to expand renewable energy and said the Commission is preparing a new package of proposals at the EU level in the near future.
