A couple of weeks ago it was suggested, provocatively but not too much so that the Russian gas taps should be closed to buyers. Provocation or not, the developments of recent days demonstrate that the energy dependence has a political cost which is too high. Now let’s spare ourselves yet another sterile call for a diversification of sources: we need a plan and its concrete and immediate implementation. Who says it takes decades does not know the market or has a conflict of interests. Exiting from this dependance doesn’t mean stopping the import gas from Russia; it simply means reducing imports to a level that could enable, if necessary, alternatives at a tolerable cost.
