It is - frankly - shocking that elite culture has drifted so far into the world of make believe that something as simple as energy security has become a political battleground. If there was a single issue that the entire political body of a country has a stake in, that is the issue.

And yet, somehow, we're seeing Europe in this position where they're trying to go it without energy. The figures out of the UK [0] are jaw dropping to me. 44% reduction in energy production, 20% in electricity and with a growing population!

The country must be populated entirely by monks and ascetics if they are putting up with this.
