  1. Personally, I don't see any new realism; I just see a different situation which requires different solutions.

  2.  @aeiouaeiou100  That's so wrong. Renewables can be scaled up much faster than nuclear can. And they are cheaper too.

  3. The EU has announced to get independent from Russian fossil fuels before 2030.

  4. @Detective Conan No. In a few year time we won't be buying any gas - or oil - from Russia at all any more. We will gladly pay a bit more (because we can).

  5. We are looking everywhere. I don't think southern Europe can produce enough Green Hydrogen for all of Europe; and they certainly don't at the moment.

  6. We are doing both. And I guess you missed the part about Green Hydrogen.

  7. That's exactly what Germany is doing? (Or at least what the government vowed to do; it will take some time, obviously.)

  8. We are going to build up renewables. Faster and cheaper than nuclear power. And no nasty garbage either.

  9. Gosh, there's another continent down there! /jk I'm sure every option is considered. This is business after all.

  10. Hurry up! I want to see large scale solar farms in Australia!

  11.  @trishna_6815  Why is Green Hydrogen questionable? It's just stored solar or wind power. It may or may not be the most efficient way of storing power depending on the use, but I don't see anything 'questionable' about that.

  12.  @trishna_6815  It is confusing. I think there's even orange Hydrogen and maybe more. :-/

  13. Yes, it is an improvement over a country that invades its neighbors. (Especially when said neighbor is two doors down the road.)

  14. We were looking at Europe, where economic ties brought lasting peace since the second world war and we thought that should work with Russia too. And it would have, if someone sensible had been in charge in Russia.

  15.  @torrent1615  That's why we bought from Russia originally; because it just made sense. But now we won't. Blame Putin.

  16.  @torrent1615  Impossible, huh? Watch us.

  17. We do not need nuclear. More coal for the short term is being talked about.

  18.  @Humanaut.  Specifically I leave that to the experts. We have whole universities doing nothing else and they say we can be mostly self reliant using wind and solar. The exception is heavy industry, which will need Green Hydrogen.

  19. You should worry about your own economy. We will take care of ours.

  20. You should work in politics, since you seem to know so much better than everyone else.

  21. We buy from China too. We will keep pushing for human rights. Things like that don't change over night.

  22. The EU will stop buying gas and oil from Russia by 2030, possible earlier.
