      Why? Why is that good? What if supply stays low and prices stay high? What if the stockpile is still depleted in two or three years, and Russia takes the chance to invade while Europe has nothing to power their industry and tanks?

      Why must the energy transition be "move fast and break everything" while the industry and households suffer under the strain of high prices?

      It could have been so smooth, it could have gone so well, but the world went mad...

        That's what the Climate Catastrophe is going to do if nothing changes!
