Russia’s energy blackmail has failed.

Thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and businesses, we have cut our gas use by 19%. And our gas storage is still filled at 62%.

We are phasing out Russian pipeline gas by diversifying our energy supplies. In 2022, our LNG imports have increased by 68% compared to 2021.

And we are massively investing in renewables to produce clean energy in Europe.

With European unity and a smart energy policy, we are strengthening our energy independence.

@EU_Commission It is exceedingly annoying that your brag is that you're all getting your act together to lessen reliance on oil, entirely for what are petty geopolitical reasons.

If the sky doesn't catch on fire again because of this drastic change in policy, good. But it shows this was always possible, and that more could still be done provided you're given a sufficient boogeyman to justify it.
