It will take a few years of investment to develop qualified people to build it. We can't do it overnight, but we can in a few years if that is made a goal.

>peak oil in Europe was 2007

Europe is still using a lot of oil in 2025! They didn't have to change overnight, it is a long term process.

But that is very far from being a goal! Every year we emit more CO2, even though we already start seeing the effects of climate change (it's only beginning), but we keep accelerating in the wrong direction.

That's not what I said. First, Europe imports pretty much the totality of their fossil fuels. And second, the European economy has been slowing down since 2007. The US likes to say "we have a better economy because we work more and better", but actually it seems pretty reasonable to think that it may be related to access to fossil fuels.
