Interesting summary on Germany’s economy and it’s reliance on Russian gas

=======================================================

Thank you for posting the interesting summary on EU’s economy.

The UK economy is in the same boat as the EU economy.

From the article:

Russia is a far more serious issue than Brexit ever was. The EU has, to varying degrees, disposed of its fossil fuel capacity to placate environmentalists, exporting their production to nations not so squeamish about fashionable climate change strictures. Consequently, the EU has become highly dependent on Russian natural gas and oil, which in cavalier fashion it has decided to do without to punish Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
