Europe's Energy Dependence on Russia
This chapter discusses the energy dependency of Europe on Russia, particularly Germany's reliance on Russia for natural gas, oil, and coal. It highlights how Europe consumes more energy than it produces and how the shutdown of nuclear power plants has deprived Europe of low carbon energy sources. It also mentions Putin's focus on realpolitik and how the West was caught up in delusions and utopian fantasies regarding renewables.
