Hope that gets Europe to invest in renewables and leave oil behind.

Yeah as if Europe doesn't have Oil it isn't exploiting because of renewable legislation..

Europe simply does not have enough known oil reserves to put a dent in current prices even if it exploited them all.

There may still be good arguments to do so anyway, such as it being less carbon intensive than importing oil, but there is absolutely no magic lever we can pull that would fix this problem that we're just not pulling due to renewables legislation.

The local farmers came with 1000l+ tanks for diesel, foreigners with multiple gas cans, etc., and the local logistics couldn't handle the pressure.

Could also be that they didn't have sufficient reserve and would rather blame hijackers?
