#Renewable energy #Energy independence #Green paradox - Butterfly effect caused by European energy crisis, 'Korea's heating bill bomb' - Hear the dilemma of energy transition from 10 experts Europe already had an energy crisis before the war, and the war exacerbated it. Choi Seung-shin / CEO of C2S Consulting Last January, a huge uproar broke out in the small coal mining town of Lucerat in western Germany. Tens of thousands of people, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, gathered to protest the German government's decision to resume coal mining. The violent police crackdown and the sight of people opposing it were unfamiliar scenes from Germany, a leading green energy country. In France, electricity prices have jumped nearly tenfold, and in the UK, the Don't Pay movement is underway, refusing to pay the increased electricity rates. People who believed without a doubt that a world of carbon neutrality and net zero would come just a year ago are now at a loss in the face of this painful reality. The pace of moving towards renewable energy is bound to accelerate, but the process will be fierce and painful. Jong-heon Lee / S&P Global Platts Chief Correspondent Saudi Arabia, the oil-rich country, has declared that it will create a 100% green energy city led by Neom City, and China, the climate villain, is monopolizing green energy technology and production worldwide. In order to say goodbye to fossil fuels and move towards green energy, humanity is experiencing a great chaos that it has never experienced before. Who will overcome this chaos and take the lead? Who will lead humanity to a new world? Everyone knows that the country that can produce green energy will have the next generation of technology and hegemony. That is why Europe, China, and the United States cannot sit still. (Green energy) is so, so important.
