How warped are we by fossil fuel dependency? Despite Russia s invasion of Ukraine, 35-40 million cubic meters per day of Russian natural gas are piped across Ukraine for European consumption every single day, right now. In order to secure European cooperation against Russian aggression, Ukraine must help to finance its own destruction at the hands of one of the world s largest petro-kleptocracies, assisting its attacker in marketing what has become a transcendently toxic geopolitical hazard. Publishing in Energy Policy, Ah-Voun, Chyong & Li describe how this tortuously ironic knot might be unraveled, in Europe s energy security: From Russian dependence to renewable reliance. People keen on self-respect may appreciate the authors contribution to showing how to crawl from a moral and ethical cesspit.
