What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

European governments are implementing interventions to soften the impact of energy shocks, which may lead to a difficult winter dominated by high energy prices. A study found that despite the United States and Europe investing nearly $20 trillion over two decades to encourage an energy transition, global oil use per person remains similar to two decades ago. Furthermore, consumption of natural gas and coal has increased compared to two decades ago.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The failure of energy transition efforts and the resulting energy shocks are impacting economic stability across both the United States and Europe. High energy prices are driving government interventions in Europe, while short-term political actions, such as opening North Sea oilfields, are reportedly undermining net zero goals.
