Reuters: EU squares up to tough choices without Russian gas

European Union officials hunkered down behind closed doors on Monday to confront the hard choices to be made for the EU to wean itself off Russian gas, even considering more use of polluting coal.

Analysts said the debate could be counter-productive as it was likely to stoke divisions over energy policy within the 28-nation bloc while doing nothing to calm tensions with Russia over Ukraine.

The talks involving European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger and technical experts from member states took place after a weekend of violence killed dozens in Ukraine, a major transit route for Russian gas into the EU.
