Russia accounted for 40% of the European natural gas supply last year, a rate that had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/european-union-social-market-economy-might-redistribute-fossil-fuel-profits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped<\/a> to 9% as of three months ago. Germany, the continent\u2019s largest economy, has seen dependence on Russian natural gas decrease from 55% to 35%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it has been addressed for this winter,\u201d BP CEO Bernard Looney said about storage levels, even though some spend up to half of their disposable income on energy. \u201cIt\u2019s the next winter I think many of us worry, in Europe, could be even more challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The European Union has adopted the official <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/clima\/eu-action\/climate-strategies-targets\/2050-long-term-strategy_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">policy<\/a> of becoming \u201ca climate-neutral society\u201d by 2050 in accordance with the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement, leading ministers to encourage a rapid transition toward renewables. Many business magnates, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, have rejected such policies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jpmorgan-ceo-scoffs-at-climate-crazy-energy-policies-gives-his-take-on-woke-capitalism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a> that the global economy is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/civilization-will-crumble-elon-musk-issues-dire-warning-about-rapid-shift-to-green-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not ready<\/a> for an overnight pivot away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>High energy prices have also impacted the United States. According to the most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/heres-how-much-power-bills-could-rise-this-winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winter fuels outlook<\/a> from the Energy Information Administration, the average American household primarily using natural gas for space heating will spend $931 on power from October to March, marking a $206 increase since last year.<\/p>\n<p>The national average price for gasoline <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gas-prices-hit-grim-national-average-of-5-per-gallon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surpassed<\/a> $5.00 per gallon this summer, even though prices at the pump are currently $3.76 per gallon, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> from AAA, marking a nearly 58% increase since President Joe Biden assumed office at the beginning of last year. The administration has nevertheless defended its record on energy as Americans prepare to vote next week. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-press-secretary-claims-americans-are-saving-on-gas-under-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> last month that Americans are saving money on gasoline under Biden, failing to mention that prices were as low as $2.38 per gallon before he assumed office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGas prices have fallen by $1.15 from their peak, which was not too long ago,\u201d she told reporters at a press briefing. \u201cThe ninety-eighth consecutive-day decline this summer was fastest in over a decade. Every month, the typical two-driver family saves about $120 at the pump compared to where we were in mid-June. Every day, Americans save about $420 million at the pump compared to mid-June.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil executives warned that next winter could see a tighter energy supply and even higher prices than this winter.
