Please stop pretending 'green' energy is an answer to Russian aggression

For a long time, and in no small part due to the actions of Europeans, Russia had Europe right where it wanted. It still does — sort of. Russian gas is indispensable for heating European homes and producing European, especially German, electricity. But this does not mean that adoption of “green” energy for Europe’s electricity generation can solve the current problem.

Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut is only the latest Democrat to present green energy as some kind of answer to European dependency on Russian energy. It is ridiculous to the point of stupid. That would take decades, if it ever happens at all, and we don’t have decades to deal with an 11-day-old invasion.
