War in Ukraine exposed how far green energy is from meeting electricity needs

The war in Ukraine jeopardizes the European Commission’s bid to become climate neutral by 2050, according to Eric Reguly, the European Bureau Chief for The Globe and Mail. “This crisis in Europe exposed the shortcomings of renewable energy,” said Reguly in an interview with Prof. Karl Moore for Forbes.com. “There just was not enough of it around to make up for the gas shortfall when Vladimir Putin turned off the taps. This crisis really showed, to me anyway, that green energy is just not there yet.”
