When energy prices triple efficiency increases.

America is just a vast, sparsely populated country with minimal environmental protection laws so they can afford not to care.

Don't worry, if energy prices increase too much we will blame liberals, deflect by starting some moral panic, and then invade a country.

America also has its own oil and natural gas. The EU not so much

The moment China, Saudi-Arabia and Iran announced the deal, Biden allowed the Willow drilling project. Wonder why xD

EU has a lot of shale gas, but politically pretty much impossible to use.

The EU has its own oil and gas as well, they just don't want to deal with them anymore. See Groningen, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groningen_gas_field
