Speaking at SPIEF 2025, Karin Kneissl — former Austrian Foreign Minister and Head of the G.O.R.K.I. Center at St. Petersburg University — delivers a pointed critique of the European Union’s energy strategy 🇪🇺❌⚛️.
Kneissl argues that Europe is approaching energy policy through an ideological lens, rather than grounding decisions in physics, chemistry, and practical science. She highlights how self-imposed restrictions and politically motivated decisions have left Europe vulnerable, energy-insecure, and economically weakened, especially in the face of global competition 🔌📉.
With winters looming and costs rising, Kneissl warns that ignoring the science of energy in favor of narrative-driven policy could lead to long-term damage for the continent.
