Russia-Ukraine crisis highlights need for far more offshore wind energy – Markey

The Russian-Ukraine crisis shows how critical it is for the EU to develop other sources of energy supplies such as offshore wind farms.

That’s according to Colm Markey, MEP for the Midlands North-West constituency.

MEPs have been debating a European Parliament report that calls for the rapid development of offshore renewable energy sources including wind power.

The report says a more sustainable management of maritime space and coastlines is needed to unlock their potential.  Colm Markey says Europe is too reliant on Russia for gas supplies.
