2006 and 2009 should have been serious wake-up calls for the Europeans, and the lessons should by now be deeply embedded in the EU’s energy policies. Instead the main efforts have focused on the internal energy market and the climate change package. Whilst it is true that European politicians have tried to portray both of these as enhancing security, they are poor substitutes for a serious energy security policy. Lots of solar panels and wind farms are at least European energy sources. But again these add very little to security, and arguably in some cases they make matters worse because they are intermittent. --Dieter Helm, Energy Futures Network Paper, 17 March 2014 dieterhelm.co.uk/sites/default/files/Ukraine%20implications_0.pdf
