The comment is explained by a €50-100/MWh carbon tax. Nuclear is sometimes necessary but still too expensive. Imported gas was chosen as a "green" alternative while hoping and dreaming a financially feasible energy source would come along. Totally surprisingly, it didn't. Lots of voters still oppose fracking, even when it's done in the middle of north sea. Europe won't see any further economic development until this insanity is over. You simply can't compete with countries that retained rational energy policies, like China or the US.
