EU leaders can build an economy that is less dependent on imported energy through increased efficiency and greater reliance on domestically produced clean energy. At the same time, they should tackle other major threats to Europe’s long-term competitiveness, including low productivity, an incomplete internal market, and insufficient innovation.
但欧洲确实拥有选择。欧盟领导人可以通过提高效率、更多依靠国产清洁能源建立一个更少依赖进口能源的经济。与此同时，他们应该解决欧洲长期竞争力的诸项重大威胁，包括生产率低下、内部市场不完善以及创新不充分等。
