I just came back to this being quite a bit more controversial than I intended. I wrote it frustrated by the story and the commenters here who were ignoring the elephant in the room. Please detach it from the story, if it is possible, or otherwise make it so it doesn't cause further harm. Whatever you feel is appropriate. In my defense, though, while I can see it being inflammatory it is definitely not offtopic. This is directly why CERN is being idled, and the article states it plainly: "Europe's energy picture remains clouded by the war in Ukraine. Moscow's invasion of its neighbour have triggered sweeping sanctions from the West, led to a cut in energy supplies from Russia and stoked inflation. On September 2, Russia indefinitely suspended natural gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, tightening the squeeze on Europe’s energy supplies. The ongoing economic battle between Moscow and Brussels has raised the prospects of recession and energy rationing in some of the continent’s wealthiest countries."
