It’s really interesting that all the official declarations coming out of the EU about this…going all the way back to the beginning of the war…have all stated that they are phasing out or cancelling their dependency on Russian oil. But then, six months later, all the independent reports seem to indicate the exact opposite is actually happening.
It’s a broken record, just repeating the same line over and over, but never actually getting past that point.
You understand the EU is a humongous entity with a load of moving parts and actually a democracy without a dictator Donny? It takes time to coordinate you know?
Wanna do something? Join solar punk, get a few panels and some storage. Buy and electric bike, reduce power usage. Plant a few trees
Every bit helps.
You know your example works very well. An alcoholic will die if he quits cold turkey is he is really addicted. The EU member states are quite addicted to Russian energy and finding alternatives will take some pain. Its a multi step process like quitting addiction is.
That has been backdoored, which happens in the US daily. Its angering a lot of people and I hope it won’t stand. This has some Donny qualities and the responsible CSU politician will hopefully get a beating for that.
Let’s see

This isn’t a matter of “getting all the parts moving”…it’s a matter of even starting to move in the direction they say they are.
It’s like watching an alcoholic saying they’re going to quit this time, for real…and then watching them drink even more the next day.

Unless it is about chat control, then they quickly find solutions.
According to fightchatcontrol.eu they first proposed chat control in 2022.
It was temporary, and they quickly found a solution to continue it. That mental agility could be applied to energy supplies, too.
