Gas Price Cap 'Dangerous,' Says DIW Energy Analyst

The video discusses the European debate on implementing a gas price cap. Claudia argues against the cap, emphasizing the need to reduce gas demand to avoid a severe crisis. She suggests that instead of capping prices, financial support should be targeted at the most affected households and companies. Claudia believes that the market should be allowed to function, with efforts focused on compensating those impacted by high prices rather than subsidizing a price cap.
