Expensive energy absolutely nerfs an entire country's economy. Economic superpowers all have cheap energy in common. Europe was coasting on fumes already for years with their retarded green energy policies. Their Euro is collapsing because they know their energy market will collapse by winter once natural gas demand gets so high people will be unable to pay their bill to heat their home.
