It's not like we can make dozens of nuclear power plants appear out of thin air.

Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is today.

Indeed. My point is rather that Europe has given no indication of changing tack. As such it seems premature to try to help them out of the hole.

Western and Central Europe has been dependent of Eastern Europe for centuries. This doesn't change just when a dictator owns these lands.

France made great strides towards energy independence until they started to walk back nuclear.
