    There was a hopeful time when the gas turned off (or the pipleine exploded) and every energy saving project came to the forefront. I hope these efforts are still going on?

      A lot of the laws passed are still going strong. ETS-2 which is a carbon trading scheme for transport and heating should start 2026. The law has passed, so that is pretty safe. The ban on sales of new fossil fuel cars is going to start in 2035, so that needs preparations as well. Also the number of ETS-1 certificates has been lowered. That is basicly the EU level stuff, which has some real impact and has been passed since the gas turn off. Those are going to take some time to really work.

      Honestly at the moment permitting large fossil fuel projects in the US to help the EU are imho just fossil fuel propaganda.
