We’ve often reported on the crippling effect of Europe’s high energy costs due to the continent’s climate change fanaticism. So we were delighted to see that finally, European energy companies are starting to throw in the towel on windmills and solar panels.

Reuters reports that the European “Big Oil” companies are “slowing the roll out of green energy programs” that were all the rage a few years ago. BP, Shell, and even Norway’s state-owned Equinor are having second thoughts on the wisdom of green energy.

If you want a chuckle, listen to Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at global warming newsletter Climate Crisis, who somberly admits that the green dream may be dying in Europe. His predictable solution is more taxes on oil and gas.
