That's true - but by its very nature it's long term.
We can't build the number of nuclear plants that we need right away - or, better, take the money from that ridiculous vanity project HS2 and develop Fusion to the point of commercial viability.
So we need gas and oil right now, and for the foreseeable, more and more as the old nuclear plants are shut down and we transition onto a mainly gas-turbine powered electricity grid.
Gas that we have to buy from Putin, granting him what amounts to immunity from us applying any meaningful sanctions/other actions.
Realistically he can do what the fuck he wants, and we have to suck it up, because he's got what we need.
