A noble sentiment, but until Western Europe foots its share of the bill of NATO defense, Eastern Europe will stick with America. And if the EU keeps up with insane energy policy and regulating their tech sector out of existence, they will remain reliant on the US. So, for now this is all empty words

- Georgelemental 4y ago"Let's close all our perfectly functional nuclear power plants and build up unreliable intermittent solar and wind! That way, we will be forced to rely on fossil fuels—especially natural gas that we can't get because we banned drilling for it on our soil, and we are currently engaged in a proxy war with the nearest major supplier."

Let’s make housing unaffordable by requiring removal of old heating systems and upgrades to insulation when a property changes hands. Let’s make it cheaper to build new houses than renovating old while making demolitions and recycling prohibitively expensive. All of that while we have a shortage of labour and material, and a difficult situation on the energy market.”
