This process would be extremely expensive for Romania if we did not have the resources that we have both onshore (on land) and offshore (in the Black Sea). Under these circumstances, we should be aware of the privilege we have as a country and use them intelligently to make an optimal transition, with benefits for the state budget and for consumers, for whom the \u201egreen\u201d transformation of the economy must be bearable.<\/p>\n<p>What does Romania's energy future look like and what role do the natural resources we have play?
