The deal would help the EU reduce its reliance on Russian energy, and could address concerns about gas supplies after the Nord Stream 1 pipeline began scheduled maintenance last week. #EuropeNews

    Thats the simple problem. Most of the countries which have what we need are run by assholes.

      Well we should just stop using gas anyway, no? Why are we continuing with this insanity when the world is literally burning?

        Even if you generate all your electricity from renewables, you still need natural gas for non-electricity uses like fertilizer or chemical manufacturing.

        Maybe because a high amount of people are heating their flats using gas and it is not possible to change that short term.

        Because there is no alternative (except freezing). Renewables wont do much in cold, windless winter nights.

            And which exactly provide enough energy to power an entire country?

            Sure, but creating the infrastructure to tap into these energy sources takes a long term commitment, and a lot of energy. Europe is clearly isn’t capable of committing to such a project, and now it lacks the energy needed to do so.
