Can the Taoiseach say whether it was obvious that the countries producing fossil fuel energy are not serious about the need for reductions, on the one hand, and the extent to which the consumer countries - like this country and other European countries - are prepared to make the alternatives available in the shortest possible time, on the other? Postponing it to some mid-point in the future and into the nowhere is not the answer. We must be prepared, otherwise we will have a shortage of energy.
