EU Spent €110B Extra on Oil, Gas Due to Iran War; Commissioner Urges Fossil Fuel Phaseout

EU countries have incurred €110 billion in additional oil and gas costs attributed to the Iran war, according to Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen. He calls for a consistent move away from fossil fuels and advises against fuel rebates, warning of a harsh winter. The claim is attributed to the Commissioner; the figure's methodology is unverified, and the policy impact is uncertain.
