Europe's Energy Crisis.

[Mindful]

• In response to Russia severely restricting or cutting off gas supplies, EU governments will take dramatic actions over the coming months. Germany recently announced it would keep two of the nuclear plants it was shuttering as backups, just in case. EU leaders will then go back to the voters and describe the amazing job they did while failing to mention they were the ones who made the decisions that put their countries in this crisis in the first place.
• The entire current crisis was avoidable if the EU had developed a rational plan instead of one based on a daydream, no matter how enticing.
• The U.S. needs urgently to examine what is happening in Europe and develop a rational energy transition plan. Any long-term solution must include strategies for reliable power production, affordable sustainable energy and a massively strengthened electrical grid.
• Europe's plan was built on the hope that consumers would accept higher prices, that Russia and Putin would be reliable, and that battery storage technology would be robust enough to cover the times when "the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine."
• This strategy, sadly always doomed to failure, provides a cautionary tale for "solutions" based solely on hope.
• The U.S. should not repeat the same mistakes as the EU by continuing down a path that cuts domestic fossil fuel production, bans gasoline-powered vehicles, and ignores that the power generation capacity and energy infrastructure are not in place to achieve an unrealistic and unfortunately unsustainable green agenda.

France needs to get all of its nuclear plants up and running full capacity again.

Not Russia 'cut off ' supplies but insane European good-for-nothing lying satanic communist corrupted trash aka 'politicians' imposed schizophrenic sanctions on behalf of USA

I wouldn’t go that far.

But l get your point.

Without Russian gas European manufacturing dies. Point.

Who from any European country ( except Hungary of course ) is competent in something?
So called 'democracy' in Europa allows completely looser or criminal only to run their countries
They are good puppets of their Freemason or satanic loges

The battery explosions are partly caused from their small size and thin encasements along with the heat they must endure. Like any other soft substance when placed in a huge sealed container the battery acid will remain softer and less affected near the center and cannot react without another substance touching it. I imagine if they designed story tall tanks with foot thick encasements the containers can be more safely built to power entire grids for limited times. You split that into smaller quantities in tiny boxes and the chance of failure increases. Battery storage can still be utilized but has a better chance in large stationary models as opposed to the small portable type. Electric vehicles are not a feasible solution and its sad that it takes extreme consequences to make the people driving this sector to realize this.

I think that such tanks could be used at existing energy plants to store excess power for later use. But I dont think batteries can ever take center stage in the industry.

Gas is likely to get higher. Saudis dictate the price.

In other words: idealists.

Europe is woke now.

As countries around the world grapple with inflation and recession, the International Monetary Fund projects the Saudi economy will grow by more than 7.6% this year, the highest globally.

Your price at the pump went up. So did Saudi Aramco's profits — to a new record

Saudi energy company Aramco said Sunday its profits jumped 90% in the second quarter compared to the same time last year, helping its half-year earnings reach nearly $88 billion.

Gas was high in the 70, at a station in the UP we could only get 5 gallons. Remember the gas wars, it was because of Israel.

Now I was half asleep so did not get all the details but Germany is trying to buy gas which comes from Russia. I think they already have some stakes in it. Now Norway or Finland has the biggest stakes in it and apparently they are not feeling like selling but Germany thinks maybe it can change that. The Gas will still come from Russia but Germany will have the major stocks and Germany would never buy from Gaz Prom again.

There are talks now that the Wests expecially the US predominance on the world is over and people are guessing that the Sauds are going to go with Brics. That would make sense given their hatred of democracy. The US is expecting rises in its energy this year too so it is unlikely that they will be too keen on the Sauds. Iran will of course be joining them too.

Thats why we should be greener asap to get away from Petroleum.

emember the gas wars, it was because of Israel.

Oh yes. Of course!
