The vast majority of MEPs have just voted to impose an immediate embargo on imports of Russian oil, gas, coal and nuclear fuel.
An embargo could cause severe problems but Green MEP Ciarán Cuffe says Ireland shouldn't panic and invest billions in developing fossil fuel projects to address a short-term energy crisis if the EU stops buying Russian oil and gas.
He says Ireland and other EU countries have an opportunity now to accelerate the development of renewable energy sources.
The Dublin MEP is against supporting fossil fuel projects such as the Shannon Liquified Natural Gas terminal proposed for North Kerry.
