Europe's Energy Dependence: Mistakes Were Made
- Europe has only itself to blame for poor economic policies like banning fracking and nuclear power, making its economy dependent on other countries
- Europe comfortably relied on US military protection during Cold War yet still pursued oil/gas deals with Soviet Union
- Europe failed to pursue energy independence via fracking or nuclear when it had the chance
- Europe enacted unrealistic renewable energy goals without proper alternatives in place
- Europe keeps adding economy-damaging regulations and bans instead of admitting its policy mistakes
