Europe would be better served by doing, what France did in 1974.

"As a direct result of the 1973 oil crisis, on 6 March 1974 Prime Minister Pierre Messmer announced what became known as the 'Messmer Plan', a hugely ambitious nuclear power program aimed at generating most of France's electricity from nuclear power. At the time of the oil crisis most of France's electricity came from foreign oil. "

"Work on the first three plants, at Tricastin, Gravelines, and Dampierre, started the same year and France installed 56 reactors over the next 15 years."

I agree. Ironically ones complaining the loudest about fuel prices are be far-right populists, who tend to be against renewables.

Electric cars aren't cheap, and electricity prices are very high in Europe.

Yeah as if Europe doesn't have Oil it isn't exploiting because of renewable legislation..

Hasn't Germany and the UK been investing in renewables for years now? They must be feeling pretty happy about that decision right now unlike oil obsessed countries like the US.

Eh, the war in Ukraine has kind of proven that the Europeans are not all that capable of action. There has been an enormous incentive to have been getting rid of oil dependency for 4 years now.

How do you put renewables into the petrol tank?

Europe has no (meaningful amounts of economically viable to extract) lithium either.
