    It does make you wonder who benefits from the anti-EV and anti-heatpump campaigns we’ve seen roll across Europe over the past few years, given how those are two major tools to lessen dependence on oil/gas.

      Yeah, I’d rather see government money invested in renewables and electrification to remove fossil fuel dependency, rather than helping people cover the price of oil and gas like they did during the crisis. That’s the real way to weaken petrostates on the long term and improve our footprint at the same time.
