Despite climate commitments, the EU is going back to coal
Faced with gas shortages, several EU member states, including France, have announced the extension or reopening of coal-fired power plants that were shut down in response to climate change issues.
At the end of June 2022, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition gave the green light to restart 27 coal-fired power plants until March 2024. The German government is not the only one to make this decision, even though it is at odds with the fight against greenhouse gases.

Within the European Union (EU), some countries – Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and France – have announced their intent to extend or restart power plants that were shut down, in an attempt to get through the next few months safely.

So they will have to import energy. That's a loss making proposition. ::)
