> As far as I can tell you can’t even heat your homes in winter without Russian or American gas.
LOL? Is this some strange side quest started by Russian propaganda? I wish I could link it but there was a literal Russian propaganda ad showing Europeans freezing during the winter of 2022 due to no Russian gas imports... which obviously did not happen.
1. Do you realize that the Russian energy sector is screwed for good, after the start of the war? European gas imports from Russia are basically 0. And Europe has diversified, it's now importing from the US, from Qatar, from Algeria, from a lot of places. Germany built a bunch of LNG terminals in 6 months. Russian gas imports are never going back.
The EU (and Europe in general) is investing like crazy in renewables. Heat pump sales are up 3 digit percentages since 5 years ago. EVs, ebikes, solar panels, wind farms, etc, etc, etc. In 20 years there will be hardly energy dependency on anyone external.
> I hope it wasn’t a temporary utopia built on the tail end of centuries of theft and violence all over the world.
You mean, just like the US theft and violence all over the world? :-)
