This Wednesday there will be a hearing on energy security strategy at the European Parliament, in Brussels. Yours truly (Ugo Bardi) will be there as one of the speakers. The meeting is open to the public, so I suppose it might be something interesting if some of you happen to be nearby and have the time to participate. The program and the coordinates of the meeting are below; thanks to Dario Tamburrano, Member of the European Parliament, for having made my participation in this hearing possible.
