REUTERS/Paul HannaMADRID, Sept 7 - Europe has to rethink its energy transition as it is now preventing investments in certain energy sources for ideological and not technological reasons, Chief Executive Officer of RepsolImaz said the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not the only reason for the hike in gas prices.
"In Europe we have opted for an ideological energy transition in which we are selecting or rejecting, preventing investments in certain energy sources for ideological and not technological reasons," he said in an energy event. "The consequence is that consumers pay more for energy and companies cannot pay for energy and CO2 increase. We have to rethink all this. We need all sources of energy."Reporting by Inti Landauro and Christina Thykjaer, Writing by Emma Pinedo
