The European Union pledged to buy billions of dollars’ worth of energy resources from the United States. Experts say that’s unrealistic and could hurt Europe’s climate goals.

    Add the 600 billions in promised investments, that the EU cannot influence (since they are private) and you get the impression that this deal is just a temporary stop-gap from the perspective of the EU. Make outlandish promises that you can’t possibly keep, because that makes the USA feel good about herself, but you already know the deal is not going to last long enough for anyone to remember the promises made at the beginning.

      I fucking hope you’re right!

      Everything I’ve read about this deal is objectively awful and likely to have dire consequences for not just all of Europe but all of humanity if followed through with.
