A proposed $750 billion energy deal between the US and the EU faces criticism for potentially hindering Europe's climate goals and energy security. Opponents argue that the agreement could lock the EU into a reliance on fossil fuels, undermining its commitment to renewable energy sources and reducing its vulnerability to energy supply disruptions. The deal aims to address Europe's energy needs but raises concerns about its long-term environmental and strategic implications, prompting calls for a reassessment of its terms and potential alternatives.
