Russia's war in Ukraine has shaken Europe's path to energy independence and its climate goals — leaving the continent to choose between quickly weaning itself off Russian oil and gas, or burning more coal and importing fossil fuels from elsewhere. https://t.co/nBGlh4Qrk3
The West Can’t Decide Who Rules Russia But It Can Choose Where To Buy Its Oil, Gas, And Uranium

When President Biden appeared in Poland yesterday, he said that the Russian leadership could not remain in power if it continued to brutalize Ukraine. To this end, the global economic sanctions are meant to isolate President Putin not just from the civilized world but also from his people. What’s more likely is that Russia will get gradually elbowed out of the global energy supply chain.

Elon Musk is the richest man on record, but he thinks Putin could be richer.
The Tesla CEO retook his title as the richest person in the world in late 2021, when he passed Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
"How do you feel, being - at a net worth of $260 billion roughly - perceived as the richest person on earth?" Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, asked Musk during a recent interview.
"I do think that Putin is significantly richer than me," Musk replied
