Kelly calls for fossil fuels to keep lights on

Ireland should use fossil fuels to avoid an energy crisis this winter, says Sean Kelly. Ireland and the EU has committed to drastic reductions in emissions over the coming decades. That means more renewables and less burning of fossil fuels. But with electricity prices rising sharply, Fine Gael MEP, Sean Kelly argues we need more natural gas in the short term. He argues Ireland should get ready for the 2030 and 2050 environmental targets, but meanwhile use fossil fuels to keep the economy going.
