    Energy prices are decoupling from fossil fuel volatility. Just one of the reasons the fossil fuel lobby is dumping massive amounts of money into anti-renewable desinformation and lobbying (read: corruption) so politicians promote idiotic schemes to cap fuel prices instead.

    Actually doing not much at all and just keeping the momentum of an ongoing energy transition going would be a perfectly reasonable plan. Instead a lot of countries are doing the opposite: sabotaging progress while inventing rediculous measures to allegedly relieve people of pressure from increased energy prices that are nothing but another round of gifts for the fossil-fuel loving energy companies those politicians actually work for.
