🇪🇺 Green Agenda And 🇷🇺 Sanctions Slash Fossil Fuel Production, But Prices Stay High

The use of fossil fuels for energy production in the EU fell by 17% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, Ember Energy Institute data shows.

Bulgaria, Portugal, Austria, Estonia, and Finland reported cuts of more than 30%, while in another 11 countries it went down by over 20%.

The decline comes due to the sanctions forcing up the cost of coal and gas, and high energy prices pushing down demand, and Europeans find other ways to heat their homes.

Renewable energies failed to bring costs down in any significant way - despite solar power use increasing by 13% and wind power growing by 4.8%.

How can green energy be a solution if nobody can afford it?
