In response to back-to-back-to-back energy crises stemming from Europe's continued reliance on imported liquefied natural gas against the backdrop of ongoing global geopolitical volatility, Europe's leaders are pushing to diversify the bloc's energy mix. While this means that Europe is rapidly expanding its renewable energy capacity, it also marks a significant return to the world's dirtiest fossil fuel - coal.
Earlier this year, when the United States and Israel began an offensive in Iran and thereby instigated the disruption of one-fifth of the world's oil and gas trades, Europe awakened to realize that it had sleepwalked into yet another energy crisis - its third in just four years.

China Pledges Major US Coal Purchases But Falls Short On Rare Earth Crisis Resolution
Barclays senior China economist Yingke Zhou poured cold water on the Trump-Xi state visit this past week, calling it "more signaling, less substance."
