Nuclear in Germany got shut down, and Europe could have chosen the US as a trading partner over Russia (I am assuming as a non-economist, non-FP expert).

If I were on a jury to decide if European leader should have acted differently in the last decade regarding energy stability, I know where I lean.

For 1000x the price maybe.

LNG is crazy expensive to produce, handle and transport. And the USA is very, very far away.

The price of using Russian gas is a war in Ukraine.
