Did not know oil was #1. Are the USA also the #1 provider of oil for the EU?
Anyhow, asssuming the 15% are higher than what it was before, this just plays into Russia’s hands. Trump is such an idiot, and von der Leyen is not much better, although the EU going for this cannot be completely her responsibility.
The US is the biggest source of oil for the EU, but only has 15% market share in Q1 this year. However Russia was at 25% in Q1 of 2022. So it is certainly possible to replace it. Especially by driving less and going for EVs.
But also the EU basically not charging tariffs on US exports to the EU. This is insanely one sided and should be shut down.
I thought this might help:
So basically no fossil fuels and do not get sick. Things you want to do anyway, but the later is unfortunatly kind of hard.
