OPINION: Ukraine crisis: US must lead again on energy before it is too late
In 2020, less than 20 percent of the European Union’s electricity came from wind and solar. Germany alone, which now experiences soaring electricity prices, has gone from an electricity exporter to an electricity importer, largely due to former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s naïve termination of her country’s nuclear power plants.

Now Europe must face the consequences of following the advice of radical climate activists. But the reach of these consequences also extends to our borders where U.S. policymakers are pursuing similar policies that led Europe to this current energy shortage. On day one, President Biden signaled the decline of America’s role as a reliable partner for Europe. He immediately rescinded authorization for the Keystone XL Pipeline and shortly afterward withdrew sanctions on Nord Stream 2.
