Europe made its energy bed and now must sleep in it — shivering
Europe has no energy bed to sleep in – the nations of the continent could not be more different in their energy needs and situations. Not even the renewable craze is uniform on all the continent. Some very important nations are destroying their national economies but others are either paying lip service or they slither through by doing the minimum thing to keep the flag flying. A place such as Europe should have started long ago to think hard about some form of energy independence. Shale, nuclear, clean coal – but we only double down on the one thing that has caused the current misery.
