Public service announcement:
**The EU is not running out of oil or gas.**
But we are negatively-impacted by global prices, for each. At any rate, we need more nuclear and renewables, and we need to **drill, baby, drill** on our own territory.
Oil and natural gas — like rare Earth metals — are not scarce within the EU. We just closed down our extractive industries because the price was too low to make it worthwhile, and because we thought it was dirty and gross and expensive. Which it is. But, so is getting constantly dragged into energy wars.
We'd hardly be lowering emissions, saving money, and protecting the environment by dropping bombs on gas fields and oil refineries. These despostic countries (including the USA, nowadays) are like our energy drug dealers. We know it's gross and naughty, and that we're sucking up to people we would otherwise avoid like the plague, but we just want a bit more...
Let's legalize extraction at home, like we did with marijuana. What say you, EU? 🇪🇺
