@Apsoy Pike The EU27 will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045.
Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmills and others as well as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper etc.
Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well.
Electrolyseurs (wind to power) are under construction everywhere as well.
Btw, since September no Russian nat gas imports anymore (apart from Hungary).
Germany is/ has been forwarding nat gas to the Ukraine, Poland, Austria, Tchechia and some other countries.
All those mentioned countries had to fill up their nat gas buffers before winter.
France had to shut down half of its nuclear power plants because of low water levels in the rivers due to the recent heat wave and urgently needed maintenance ( still ongoing), therefor Germany is doing the back up power for France and sending six times more electricity to France as normally.
About 80% of France's electricity gets produced by nuclear power and the French are heating with
electricity.
48% of Germany's electricity gets produced by renewables ( wind, solar, water).
Most of the nat gas is used as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper etc, and as written before, will be replaced by green hydrogen.
Btw, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium have taken over from Russia with delivering nat gas to the EU27. Therefor: the EU27 are doing good ...
Greetings from the EU 😉

@Apsoy Pike Well, as I wrote, it's not solar only. And there are so called "fluid salt" storage batteries as another option to hydrogen as a storage battery.
Nuclear power, as we could see this summer, isn't a real option = no water, no cooling. And most of the needed Uranium is from Russia.
Btw, Germany on its own has cooperations with 10 other countries worldwide to produce green hydrogen.
Again, hydrogen can also be used as raw material for proceeding things and as storage battery.
The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany have this project called
" green hydrogen coast line", all subsidiesed by the EU and the Gvts.
It's on the way all over the EU27, hydrogen is the future 😉

As I wrote about Nato: you were mentioning, that the EU "armed" the RoI, my answer to that was, that the EU27 has the same "military agreement" within EU member states then Nato (duty to support each other in case of ..).
Again, as written before: in some ways you are blaming the EU by not giving Cameron enough of "exceptions" for the UK/ GB as wanted. As I wrote before, the UK/GB was actually from beginning of its EU membership more or less demanding exceptions, it had reached the limits. Nobody is/was forced to join the EU, and the coming rules with it are made by the EU member states, including the UK/GB ...
Btw, it was always clear, that the EU is permanently advancing, well known by the Continental EU citizens/ member states, just not by the UK/GB.
If you're interested, please read up about Robert Schuman, the "father of Europe", born in Luxembourg (then German, later French), who's idea of an European Union started in the 1920s.
Greetings from the EU27 😉
