  1. Nuclear power plants take 2x longer than off shore wind and cost 2x more to build. The UK just bid in off shore wind at 44 euros per megawatt vs 110 Euros for Hinkley Point C and 5 years to bring twice the capacity on line that has taken a decade for Hinkley Point C. The market has spoken nuclear lost on cost alone

  2. The free market is suppose to provide a solution to this when the alternatives are less expensive. Off shore wind contracts in the UK are now the least expensive form of energy generation costing 1/4 that of gas powered electricity

  3.  @Korovkin_Pavel  lol Russian Nuclear Plants sure you can build them cheap if you don't kind the occasional nuclear meltdown.

  4.  @Korovkin_Pavel  oh as to when the wind stops blowing. Too funny you have never heard of energy storage.

  5. Maybe Germany should invest 2% of GDP into renewable energy and geothermal heating as apposed to F35 fighter jets and other weapons systems.

  6.  @MoireFly  I am pretty sure NATO has a robust military without investing more in the profits of the military industrial complex. I suspect the combined NATO "defense budget" exceeds the GDP of Russia let alone their military budget.

  7.  @deanbarnett8538  I would be careful about all options trading one oil baron for a different one only risks building more stranded assets as we approach the end of the ff era. I would focus on wind solar and geothermal heating. Also increased building insulation in places where it is lacking apparently that is a big problem still in the UK according to the insulate Britian movement anyway. But as oil is a global market all of NATO should make a war time effort to transition away from ff. If we did this globally we could easily replace the demand that Russia produces.

  8.  @Korovkin_Pavel  lol because I know history you think i don't know the current technology. You apparently never heard the old saying about assumption.

  9.  @jtothed8575  fear definitely is good for the profits of the military industrial complex
