From March 2022 to July 2026, European Union countries paid Russia around €197 billion or approximately US$209 billion for fossil fuels.
Just keep offering up kibbles in the palm of your hand to the wolf hellbent on eating you, that is definitely going to work out for you Europe!
capitalism is above wars.
Not freezing is, too. Most of Europe is not prepared for a winter without Russian gas. We need electrification and renewable energy production yesterday.
The industry can’t function with renewables, it needs gas and oil products.
It will have to in the future. There won’t be fossil gas and oil forever. What can’t be substituted has to be synthesized at some point.
ofcourse, but it’s a process that takes decades, not 2 years. and fossil fuels aren’t gonna run out tomorrow, there are generations of exploatation still in front of us.
