Europe Is Turning Off Solar Just as Gas Market Tightens The European Union's efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and meet ambitious climate targets have hit a peculiar snag.

This irony is striking, given that Europe's renewable energy push has been touted as a key component of its transition towards a low carbon economy.
