Soft power.
“European countries are estimated to have spent additional 792 billion euros in the last year just on the status quo system to protect consumers from the effects of the energy crisis introduced by the Russian invasion into Ukraine”
Honestly I think building solar and wind farms in Europe would do more for America’s military power than more tanks.
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoYou have a flaw in your reasoning. More solar and wind farms in Europe make it more independent from both Russia and the US.
- politician 3y agoThe EU is dependent on the US for nuclear deterrence, so the dependency relationship will continue even after they choose to use less imported US LNG. That’s probably a long time from now though, as they are expanding LNG regasification terminals (6 projects that I’m aware of) since the pipelines from Russia became unavailable.
