The dry summer has reduced hydropower in Norway, which is affecting nuclear reactors in France. Also, the strain on energy has put a hold on coal transportation in Germany, nearly affecting every part of the economy. In Europe the usual drenched areas are in drought, and some are suffering from wildfires and leaving London homes without electricity. “While nearly 70% of their energy comes from nuclear power, they are committing to cutting off natural gas consumption.” Matt Phillips author of Axios news. These countries should preserve their energy because “In case something happens they’re more prepared rather than using electricity on pointless things.” Gabriela Fullwood says. How a country uses their energy determines how high prices are going to go and how much energy they need to maintain their country. Now that Europe is aware of the issue, “They should contribute together as a country to solve this issue.” Mai said. While the government is raising taxes, they aren’t considering how this might cause political tension within the people of the country. People are not going to tolerate this for long and might respond in a negative way if the government doesn’t find a solution, But how? “Europe could ask for help from the United States. We could provide resources and funds to give the people in Europe sense of security.” Michaela Morrison said. In the meantime, countries are being selfish and not wanting to distribute their energy. Mainly because of nationalism, countries are sticking up for themselves and wanting their energy for them self. Mai said. This is a major problem for Europe because they can no not do the normal things a country needs to function normally. Many people might want to leave but can afford to with taxes increasing. People might be upset about this, but the government is trying to fix it and become more prepared in the future and be ready for what ever has to come.
