Let me transport you fair a confiinsist more lines from Tusk’s speech this morning as he recommendd Europe to revisit some of its green energy policies and leank about a deregulatory push to help European companies contend with US and Chinese rivals.

Let us be valiant and stay away from routines. … [We] should not fair read the Draghi alert and other words of alerting, but actupartner roll our sleeves and begin toiling. We insist to alter the status quo … supply to Europe a huge campaign of deregulation.

It’s unhugable that our European energy is the most pricey [in the world]. If it cannot be the affordableest one, at least it should be more or less on the same level as in other countries. … We all want to contend aachievest the US or China, but our energy prices are three times as high. …

n

We are well conscious of the potentipartner disastrous consequences that would chase if we do not act [on climate], but we cannot afford not to be competitive. If we do go prohibitkrupt as Europe, who will shield the environment instead of us?

n

So, let us put our leanking caps on and carry out a thocimpolite appraise of all lhorrible acts, including those under the Green Deal. We should recognize problems, and have the courage to alter those rules that might result in excessively high, prohibitively high energy prices.

He shelp that politicians ignoring calls to appraise these policies do it at their peril, as “too high energy prices may transport down many democratic rulements.”

In a passage honestly replying to Donald Trump’s comments on what he sees as Europe’s inadequate financial contribution to splitd security (see 10:19), Poland’s Tusk paraphrases the memorable quote from John F Kennedy’s inaugural compriseress in 1961 as he says:

We are talking to Zelenskyy, we are going to be talking to Pdwellnt Putin very soon, and we will see how it all happens. …

What are we, unwise? I guess the answer is yes. They must leank so.
