EU used to produce its own energy, but environmentalists funded by Russia managed to reduce EU production and increase dependence on Russia. Hopefully those regulations can be reversed and EU can block Russia completely.

I'm pretty sure the environmentalists weren't arguing Europe should keep burning fossil fuels so long as they weren't extracted in Europe.

Nah, they pushed against scary nuclear instead, and some bad actors (Schroeder) capitalized on it.
