How does the EU's proposed plan to address high energy prices balance its climate change objectives with economic needs?

This policy change reflects the EU's response to industry complaints about high energy costs, making them less competitive than the U.S. and China. By potentially investing in American LNG projects, the EU aims to secure more affordable and stable energy supplies, mirroring Japan's strategy of securing long-term contracts and reducing reliance on Russian gas. The plan also includes measures to upgrade power grids and streamline permitting for nuclear technologies.
