putin again cuts off gas supply to Germany. I SAY - BUILD THE nuclear power plants NOW !

[Litwin]

the leading expert Krutikhin's concluding comments shows he doesn't get it. Renewable sources are great in theory, but the basic problem is that the sun does not shine at full strength every day (clouds, rain, etc.) not does wind blow all the time. Battery banks & arrays can be used for storage but they take up a lot of space, plus battery manufacture is toxic--it requires rare earth metals, strong acids &/or bases, etc. Don't forget all the plastic components...where will those come from? Solar & wind energy are not good substitutes for petroleum & natural gas, & won't be for the foreseeable future. Germany is in its current MESS because Germany's Green Party- EXTREME LEFT & allies tried to rid the country of all NUKLEAR & fossil fuel ENERGY AND convert GERMAN/EU BUDGET MONEY INto UNPRACTICAL solar & wind power.

I remember when the Germans laughed at Trump for telling them this was going to happen.

Fuck them, I hope they freeze.

Russia will turn on the gas when Germany learns that they have to pay their bills.

 

[mamooth]

Germany is set pretty well for gas this winter. Their stockpiles are nearly full.

Germany says gas stocks rising quicker than expected

Germany is replenishing its gas stocks more quickly than expected despite drastic Russian supply cuts and should meet an October target early, the government said Sunday (28 August).

That is, they don't need Russia.

You're quoting old battery technology, Most (with the exception of automobiles) use lithium ion or ni cad batteries. Lithium batteries don't use acid, neither to NiCads. Old batteries (lead acid) are the only ones that use them, and they are going out of style as the tech for batteries advances.

That would be nice. I hate to see people suffer because of the idiocy of their politicians.

Maybe they'll restart the nuke plants they closed last year?

No, they won't. But they will delay closing the last three nuclear plants that were scheduled to close in December.

 

[Flash]

Those damn worthless wind mills, solar farms and shut down nuclear plants ain't doing shit, are they?

The Eurotrash energy policy of going Green and let the Russians make up the difference isn't going too well, is it?

They should have been building their own power plants but they didn't.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

No, they won't. But they will delay closing the last three nuclear plants that were scheduled to close in December.

That's a shame.
Tidal waves rarely hit those plants.

Look at it this way, a tidal wave never hit Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.

I read where the Germans have 30 some nuclear plants but are only operating 2 or 3. WTF, I don't get that at all.

Question: once your nuclear material isn't strong enough to provide power to millions, can't it be used to meet smaller needs? That stuff last for a very long time, no?

Germans laughed at Trump

do you think only Trump warned them ?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

do you think only Trump warned them ?

Only Trump got up at the UN and publicly called them out. The Germans laughed at him.

Tru dat, Marc, the Europeans painted themselves into the corner they are now in by following the same crazy energy policies that the treasonous Diaper Man is now trying to force on us.

 

[toobfreak]

do you think only Trump warned them ?

Who else warned them?

 

[toomuchtime_]

Who else warned them?

The warnings came from Reagan and every US president since, but France and Germany had assumed an arrogant anti American attitude that led them to favor replacing NATO with an all European military alliance they could dominate and they took it as a point of honor to ignore and even to ridicule any advice from the US. Foor decades western Europeans have behaved like reckless, rebellious adolescents and now they are paying the price. Let the fuckers freeze, they have earned it. If Putin hadn't believed western Europeans were too weak and too dependent on Russian energy to oppose Russia's take over of Ukraine, he never would have dared to invade Ukraine.

Maybe Europe should have thought of that before backing Bedpan Biddum's plan to assault Russia.

entire EU, first of all the east European countries

Poland's foreign minister has raised concerns that his nation is being sidelined in security debates between the US and European countries.

After the breakup of the USSR, many thought Russia would join the civilized nations of the world, but once Putin came to power, it was clear that would not happen. In a speech in 2005, Putin made it clear he intended to expand the Russian empire westward, and western Europe should have become wary about importing Russian energy, but it didn't. In 2005, when Putin invaded Georgia, western Europe should have become wary of importing Russian energy, but it didn't, and in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine western Europe should have begun cutting back on Russian energy imports but instead it joined Russia in strongarming Ukraine into signing away territories in the infamous Minsk agreement.

Now it has finally become clear to western Europeans that seeking to appease Putin is seen by him as weakness and an invitation for further aggression and that there is no choice but to oppose Russian aggression though this winter and adapt to a future without energy imports from Russia. By spring it will become clear to Putin that his invasion has failed and he will eventually have to withdraw from Ukraine.
