The EU should reduce reliance on non-EU energy sources and strengthen energy security through renewables and diversification, but complete independence is not necessary or practical.

This could be shortsighted given the effects of extreme weather events. Green energy is predominantly derived from effects of weather. The EU is a small surface area during weather events.

Yes, but only if this includes just green and ethically sourced energy, and if temporary aid is provided to the monolithic countries that provided us oil if their economies collapse as a result.
