Europe, honestly, just can't afford that, even if they wanted. This is why e.g. Germany still has to buy natural gas from Russia, even while supporting the war effort of Ukraine against Russia.

Actually they built a bunch of LNG terminals very very quickly and now get most of their gas from that

Most gas in Germany comes via pipelines from Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium. LNG is at around 10%.
