Considering most Europeans won’t be able to afford electricity and there is no increased investments into renewables as a result of this insanity it looks like an abysmal outcome. In fact it’s so bad that very likely it will slowly set into motion all kinds of bad workarounds that will utterly destroy the economy.

Wait, if they invest too much, then natural gas will not be needed, and prices will steeply fall. So better not invest (too much), right?
