Original: EU governments helpless as energy prices soar to four-year highs https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-energy-prices-fossil
EU governments are struggling to respond as European energy prices climb to their highest levels in four years, driven by fossil fuel and gas costs, Politico reports. The price surge is renewing concerns about household bills, industrial competitiveness and the bloc's dependence on imported energy, with officials appearing to have few immediate tools to bring costs down.
Why now: Rising energy costs are hitting consumers and industry across Europe, making the EU's policy response a pressing political topic.
