I never said they were. But on the subject of companies struggling to pay fuel bills for something foreseen, the companies in question surely bears some of the blame. The glass company in the article has had 8 years to consider what would happen. 8 years where in could have investigated and invested in more efficient kilns, electric kilns, price hedging, etc. This isn't about the good of the people it's about the good of the company. They took a business decision not to protect themselves against this eventuality, why is government to blame for that business decision? All the while the EU has been encouraging all these measures anyway. Has the company not considered what happens if they can't burn gas in the future? I don't know if France has a net zero target, but even if it doesn't it is a possibility.
