I find it baffling that this guy gets sentenced to jail and pay 14 million dollars to a company that makes huge amount of profits, but at the same time when people die in the US because of unsafe work conditions the sentences are much less…

EU might be hurting, but in the process it became independent of Russian oil but mostly gas exports. So yes, they may be better off now (and that’s a big maybe with the big propaganda engine running) but in the long run the EU is better off with investments in renewables paying off. I hope the EU won’t trust them with a penny after this and will keep the restrictions intact in the future.
