Energy bills, bills, bills

We're back for a brand new year of stories from across the continent. Top of the agenda is an issue that's been worrying a lot of Europeans: eye-wateringly expensive energy bills. Energy expert Marine Cornelis is here to explain why this is happening and what can be done about it. We're also catching up on Ukraine and a transatlantic cheese dispute. Marine is the founder of Next Energy Consumer (https://www.nextenergyconsumer.eu/about-marine-cornelis/) and the host of the Energ'ethic podcast (https://www.nextenergyconsumer.eu/podcast/) .
