Energy is not an EU competency. And to be clear, EU bureaucrats decide basically nothing, the council of ministers makes all EU decisions and they are the elected ministers of the member states.

You’re right about that.

Then whoever is electing those ministers better start electing other, smarter people.

That would be the people of Europe, and I agree. But blaming it on faceless bureaucrats is a distraction from that.
