I don’t think anyone in Europe will disagree with that, the reality is biting home on two fronts. Europe, particularly Germany, is way too dependent on Russia and that the transition to green energy has, surprisingly, swung that way too quickly. This last point has been acerbated by the shutting down of nuclear power stations.
Thinking it through, if Russia invades Ukraine then sanctions come in. If that includes, presumably, something to do with reducing their gas out out then the price of energy is going to go crazy unless Saudi/OPEC opens the taps…
Ultimately, and I view this in a very biased way, it’s hard to not think that a source of energy in a safe, geo-politically remote location might start to become very attractive…
