    Exactly, it’s obvious to anybody with a functioning brain that you can’t just make new energy sources appear out of thin air. Russia was supplying a massive amount of energy to Europe, and then that got cut off. Meanwhile, other energy suppliers didn’t just have a bunch of unused capacity sitting around because why would they. So, the amount of energy Europe could get from other countries was always going to be limited, and what happened in the end is that Europe started buying Russian energy through third parties at a huge markup.
