The EU accelerates plans to phase out Russian gas (Justine Calma, Mar 8, 2022, The Verge)
Would obviously have been better to transition speedily because it's the sensible thing to do, but a crisis works too.The European Union announced new plans today to swiftly shrink its reliance on Russian gas and accelerate its transition to clean energy. Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine and continued threats to further squeeze Europe's gas and oil supplies have made clean energy an even more critical priority."It is time we tackle our vulnerabilities and rapidly become more independent in our energy choices.
