7 years sound as a much better bet than 2 months, but who knows. The US has stayed in the middle east for longer than that. I fully expect that the energy crisis in EU will last much longer than 7 years. The hydroelectric dams in northern Europe need to be replaced and reduced, while the industry and transport sector need to switch to using more electricity. Reducing energy capacity from the corner stone of energy production while at the same time increase consumption is going to take a while to fix. 20-30 years is a more likely time table for when those issues will start to be solved.
