What happened
A recent study found that despite the U.S. and Europe pouring vast sums into green energy schemes, global oil use per person remains largely unchanged compared to two decades ago. This spending rivals the total expenditure on all social programs across both continents. Concurrently, reports detail how leaders in the U.S. and Europe are facing record heat waves while simultaneously dealing with rising energy bills and the strain on existing oil, coal, and gas infrastructure.
Why it matters
The reports underscore how short-sighted political gestures and the failure to invest adequately in energy diversity are being tested by climate impacts. This includes the routine closure of nuclear power stations in France and the strain on infrastructure across the continent of Europe.
