> In contrast, renewables and storage deploy quickly, on time, and on budget, and the capacity for production is at least an order of magnitude larger than what we can do with nuclear.

Yet EU energy crises keep getting worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Could you be a bit more clear about your implication here?

Do you think the EU energy crisis is because of renewables somehow? If so, how did you come to that conclusion, and in what way?

Renewables don't generate any energy when they aren't connected to the grid. And natural gas shortages for heating don't really get solved by renewables unless people start installing lots of heat pumps, which they definitely should.
