Dan Jørgensen

Dan Jørgensen is the EU Energy Commissioner. He is currently newsworthy due to the energy crisis in Europe stemming from the ongoing Iran war. He has warned of a "very serious situation" and is urging EU citizens to conserve energy, including measures like working from home. Jørgensen is also advocating for the rapid expansion of renewable energy sources within member states. His statements come as European airports are warning of potential jet fuel shortages within weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The EU is planning crisis measures to stabilize energy markets, but faces challenges, including a lack of support from the US. Airlines like Volotea are already canceling flights due to rising fuel prices, highlighting the immediate impact of the crisis. Jørgensen's role is significant as he navigates the EU's response to a potential energy shortage and seeks long-term solutions.
