  "textContent": "WEB DESK: The European Union’s current energy struggles are the result of long-term systemic errors and a \"simplistic\" approach to the green transition, according to the head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation.\n\nIn an exclusive interview with RT, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev argued that the bloc’s move away from stable energy sources has left it vulnerable to the ongoing market volatility triggered by conflict in the Middle East.\n\n## A ‘Crude’ transition and nuclear rejection\n\nLikhachev suggested that the spike in fuel and electricity costs exacerbated by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz following US-Israeli strikes on Iran has merely exposed pre-existing flaws in European strategy.\n\nHe claimed the crisis was decades in the making, driven by a \"consistent series of mistakes\" and an \"unjustified rejection\" of natural gas and nuclear power.\n\nWhile nations like Germany completed their nuclear phase-out in 2023, Likhachev insisted that a return to atomic energy is the only viable solution to the continent’s price instability.\n\nDespite the EU's broader goal to eliminate Russian gas imports by 2027, Rosatom continues to maintain a foothold in the region through ongoing projects in Hungary.\n\nThe post EU energy crisis rooted in ‘Decades of Policy mistakes’, claims Rosatom chief appeared first on HUM News.",
