Your point about the EU giving competitors an opportunity by prioritizing sustainability is a genuine tension. I have a slightly differing opinion. I think the bigger risk for the EU is not investing in green tech early, because that's where the next wave of economic dominance is likely to come from. On your energy stability point, I completely agree, and I think it's relevant to computer science too. Data centres are enormous energy consumers, and as AI scales up, that problem gets significantly worse. Reliable, clean energy isn't just an engineering challenge, it's basically a prerequisite for the digital economy functioning at all.
