British Prime Minister Liz Truss promised to solve the problems of the United Kingdom in the energy sector. In particular, she announced plans to increase hydrocarbon production in the North Sea. Truss also said she will seek to lift the moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing, which is recognized as unsustainable. Meanwhile, continental Europe is taking drastic measures to save energy and is looking for new energy suppliers. However, according to experts, any schemes for solving the problem of gas shortage will cost Europeans more than direct supplies from Russia.
