"Today the International Energy Agency (IEA) have announced plans to move for greener energy source to replace the fossil fuels supplied by the Russians. This to me is a step towards the right direction."

I wanna bet you are not living in Europe. The sanctions will kill Europe's economy. Businesses are going bankrupt. Families who are going broke. Farmers are forced to sell their land. And fishers were already fucked. Big companies are also going bankrupt which means many people losing their job. This is the end of the Dutch culture.

What a good direction they took hé

Edit: "According to a recent report released by the UN Global Crisis Response Group, an estimated 1.6 billion people in 94 countries are suffering from the cost-of-living crisis, food, and energy poverty, and social unrest exacerbated by the ripple effects of the Ukraine war. As energy prices soar, these countries are unable to meet basic energy needs and become more indebted, and therefore will likely experience setbacks in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals."

"In the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, though, the urgent need for energy has led the EU to march in the opposite direction of green.

Gas in the eurozone became at least six times more expensive than it was before the pandemic due to energy shortages. The high prices have forced European countries to turn back to coal, which is cheaper and not monopolized by Russia, despite the fact that its combustion emits significantly more greenhouse gases. Just a few months after the Glasgow Climate Conference (COP26),

European countries that had been pushing for the “coal phase-out” proposal are restarting their coal power plants to protect valuable natural gas reserves: Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands announced the lifting of restrictions on fossil-fuel power plants and extend the lives of dozens of coal plants that were scheduled to close by 2030. At the same time, France is also actively considering restarting its Saint-Avold coal-fired power plant, which was closed this March, to meet the demand for winter heating. The surge in European demand for coal is putting additional pressure on coal-producing countries, such as Australia and Indonesia, which are about to reach their export peaks."

So according to my source and observation. Those green lefties are further from their goals then ever.

The green energy is a futuristic goal, but it's what the world needs to help fight climatic change. It's crystal clear that the economic sanctions against Russia is causing Europe a lot at the moment but from my perspective, the green energy goal is a step towards the right direction.
