The British Foreign Secretary David Miliband gave a key-note speech to demosEUROPA Centre for European Strategy on European renewal amidst global adversity on Tuesday, 23 June 2009. The Foreign Secretary spoke in favour of a much more robust energy policy with regulation on energy efficiency to reduce the overall demand for energy, diversification of energy supplies and diversity of sources of gas supply and transit routes, including the southern corridor with the Nabucco pipeline. Thirdly, a second wave of electrification of the European economies is needed by means of shifts to electric powered cards and electric heating at homes. Finally, more solidarity is needed between member states, including by means of liberalised, transparent and integrated energy markets.
