## Summary

Jesse Jenkins, a professor at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center, analyzes how Europe can eliminate its reliance on Russian fossil fuels by next winter. He details the immediate market shocks, including the spike in natural gas prices and the disruption of global supply chains for fertilizer and food. Jenkins outlines a multi-pronged strategy involving short-term fossil fuel substitution (coal, US LNG) and long-term acceleration of clean energy technologies like heat pumps, wind, and solar to achieve energy security and decarbonization.
