Nope, we tried this in Europe and you end up with a free rider problem where nobody but us invested sufficiently in renewables and decided to buy most of their gas from Russia instead, which led to them driving our electricity prices through the roof when the rug got pulled from under them by the war even though we did all the right things. It was clearly a mistake that we deregulated and connected to the European market and now everyone knows this with certainty.
