Only a warm winter can save Europe this year: Qatari energy minister
DOHA, Qatar (AA): The Qatari energy minister has said the only thing that “will save humanity and Europe this year is a warm winter.”
“If the economy starts churning back up in 2024, and you have just a regular winter, I think the worst is yet to come,” Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi said during the Qatar Economic Forum in the capital Doha.
He stressed that renewable energy sources are only for generating electricity and that it is not solving problems, and that countries need a proper mixture of energy products.
Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war last year in February, energy prices, especially natural gas, have increased significantly.
