Sure, switching away from fossil fuels is absolutely something Europe should have been doing a long time ago. The most practical and obvious way to do that would be to buy stuff like wind turbines and solar panels from China to close the immediate gap, and then work on developing domestic industry to close the gap. That’s not actually happening though. Even though people are starting to realize there’s a huge energy crisis, no significant moves are being made by Europe to phase in renewables at scale. So, the only possible outcome in the near future is an economic crash.

I didn’t say it’s happening - as you said, it sadly isn’t on the scale needed.
I just said, we need to do that.
oh I completely agree, and the effort should’ve started at least a decade ago
