I'm not an expert on this, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't say Europe has none. From what I've read, Norway may not pump as much as the US, but it's still a significant petroleum and natural gas producer. A few other EU countries, and the UK, contribute smaller amounts. Nor do I think that it's quite fair to say that the US has an unlimited fossil fuel supply. No nation does. The US acts like it does, though. The sincerity is a bit suspect, but Western Europe at least makes concerned noises about reducing carbon emissions. They're trying. New passenger ICEVs are banned from 2035. Already I see more EVs in this tiny rural French town than I ever saw in the medium size Ohio cities around where I lived. Right now the US is tentatively making carbon-control noises, but their past and their likely future direction is for them to pump it and burn it until it's gone (and we are).
