EU has had a lot of time to recognize the situation they have been in regarding energy. Sorry, but this will never not be not amusing. Where Trump being a stopped clock warns the UN about relying on foreign energy and the German delegation laughs as they were shutting down their nuclear and increasing reliance on Russia for energy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FfJv9QYrlwg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FfJv9QYrlwg

Trump? The same Trump that threatened Greenland while the EU is relying on US LNG? Indeed the EU should not rely on US energy. Trump is completely inconsistent anyway. First he blamed the EU for wanting to continue the Ukraine war. Then he periodically floats lifting Russia sanctions. But if the EU were to lift Russia sanctions, that of course would lead to severe repercussions. Trump is about economic suppression of the EU. If you say "nuclear energy". The US has imported Russian uranium to at least 2025.

> EU has had a lot of time to recognize the situation they have been in regarding energy. There is no case of they just needed to pay attention earlier. The problem is known. There is just no good solution. Drastically scaling back energy consumption isn't going to happen any time soon and would harm the economy. So we can choose between Russia, the Middle East and the USA. Best would be of course to reduce fossil use, but that is orthogonal.

  There is just no good solution. Refraining from shutting down their nuclear plants for no good reason would have been a start.

    That's not a solution. A solution is something you can actually do.

      They can restart them and/or build new ones. Fission isn't some lost technology like Greek fire or Damascus steel.

        Damascus steel…isn’t a lost technology. Are you willing to share where you heard that?

  Ok, now balance your response with the image of them laughing at dumb old Trump being a dumb dumb.
