Have you seen how much WIND and SOLAR Germany has been adding to its country? It is a LOT and still far far from enough and batteries aren't cheap enough to store excess energy anyhow. Good luck for those poorer countries that are barely floating right now that need energy TODAY. Germany are also run by idiots because they just shut down some nuclear power stations which means more coal and natural gas are going to be burnt.
So the energy pipeline from Russia will continue for decades and become more and more relied upon. If the choice is starving/dying from cold and becoming Russia's vassal I know what most people will choose.
