RE:EU gas price cap.This is the problem they will face. At least for those that are buying LNG. It is a global commodity and global commodity prices must be paid. For those that are being supplied domestically the windfall tax is already extracting its pound of flesh.
"EU energy ministers have been forced into five emergency meetings because they cannot come to agreement on a maximum ceiling to pay for gas because of fear that global suppliers will simply bypass Europe when others offer more money." I know you are frustrated with the process and that your suggestion is just not serious.
I for one never thought that they would just sit back and pay when the first forecasts of extremely higher O&G prices came to light. I wasn't sure what they would do or could do but "freeze in the dark" is not something they are prepared to, or will, do nor did i expect them to or let their citizens do it.
That being said I think the big underlying mistake they made was relying on Russia for their energy needs and I do not think they will ever do that again.
