It\u2019s incredibly volatile,\u201d Fabian R\u00f8nningen, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy, said of high energy prices throughout Germany on Tuesday. \u201cThese prices are reaching levels now that we thought we would never see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Europeans might not have seen those high prices coming, but those who believe in a true all-of-the-above energy solution that maximizes fossil fuels and clean energy, as well as energy independence, certainly predicted it.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, the Trump presidency made the entire world lose its mind. Leaders listened to children instead of taking an honest look at their vulnerabilities.
