Europa, Mediterráneo y energía¿una nueva alternativa del diablo? (reedición)

Resum

Energy is a basic pillar of development, and Europe continues needing an energy that, despite the model changes that are being carried out, will still require for some time the arrival of hydrocarbons, especially gas, to the territory of the Union. The need for these essential resources means that it is necessary to acquire them despite the fact that with the benefits of their extraction or transit through their territory, it is easier for nations with which there are growing disputes to finance the means with which they try to achieve their objectives. The existence of different options for the supply of hydrocarbons -especially gas- each of them with advantages and disadvantages, should be taken jointly by the European Union, and especially looking towards the south of the Mediterranean, towards Africa, although, certainly, and in any case, it is about deciding on existence of ‘devil's alternatives’.
