""The war in the Middle East is not ours, and yet it affects us very directly," said Lecornu in a recorded speech."
""As long as we depend on oil and gas, we will continue to pay the price for other people's wars," he said."
""Fortunately, France has an asset: electricity generated on its own soil," he added."
""France aims to pivot its energy from 60 percent reliance on oil and gas to 60 percent carbon-free energy by 2030.""
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced plans to transition to electric power for transport and housing in response to rising oil and gas prices due to the Middle East conflict. The government will increase funding for domestic electric power from €5.5 billion to €10 billion. A ban on gas heating systems in new buildings will be implemented by the end of the year. France aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase carbon-free energy to 60 percent by 2030, leveraging its nuclear power capabilities and offshore wind farms.
