Absolutely horrible one sided panel. As it was said Russia fulfilled it's contractual obligation and supplied Eu with natural gas as agreed upon. EU doesn't want a new or amended contract for additional natural gas because it would look bad based on existing renewable targets. So what Russia suppose to do, pump free gas because the winter is coming?
More to that. It's abundantly clear that it's exactly the EU's green policy which has led to this crisis aggravated with its desire to do Russians as much damage as possible. And now this policy obviously backfired. But what we hear? The more green policy! OK, good luck with that. But one can predict 100 percent when this policy backfire again it will be surely Russia to blame for the EU. Who else?
@@colder5465 ..He He. Good question. The issue is not who to blame, Russia will surly be a candidate, but the political environment will change, and hopefully we will have a united Europe with Russia as an integral part. Let's hope for the best.
I wonder why this crisis isn't happening in France and in fact they're exporting their electricity to other European countries. I mean how long will it take to acknowledge that nuclear power is the future of green energy if we want to power our society carbon free and safely.
As green ideology forbids New,officient, extremely reliable nuclear energy then renovable source of energy is just dream pipe on the sky. Stick to wind and solar is ...Russien wealth, Not to mention is jock about green policy
It's estimated it costs 40000 euro on average to fully electrify a home in my country (Netherlands). Add to that a 50kWh+ car: 50000 euro: total 90k euro. Who's paying that for me?
Build fossil fuel & nuclear power plants. Coal is abundant. Instead they fell for the trap of relying on solar and wind which can't generate the power that is required especially in a harsh winter.
@@stesegreto656 To heat a house electrically you first need good insulation. For older houses this involves replacing windows with HR++(+?) glass. Add floor, attic, wall insulation. Then you want a heat-exchanger system and replace old radiators (which take water @ 80C) with floor heating (@30C). That requires moving all your furniture, destroy all your floors to put the tubing in. Buy a new floor. Add boiler for tap/shower water. Add induction cooking to replace the gas furnace. Add solar panels, various required expansions to the fuse box, cabling. I believe that average does not include anything to do with a household battery. My installer tells me adding a 5kWh-ish battery will probably be 10k euro, largely because of all the extra required "boxes" in the fuse box.
You aren't getting good value! EVs are gradually falling in price to under €30k and falling. I have 20kWh LiFePo battery storage and 4kW solar array - for €15k. Not cheap, but very good value for energy independence.
Intelligence? Or lack of it? Or fear? The plan by Mead2024org fixes the planetary problem but the nuclear question is not solved by putting reactors near cities.
Well I guess we can disagree about the word PROOF and sanity of nuclear near people or rivers. First, heatwaves shut them dlwn because river water coolant was killing everything, next, I wrote the software that ran ALL thr engineers for a big 3 unit nuke plant&would never ever ever suggest they be anywhere within 500 miles of anh person, river, aquifer or farm and of you float them 500 miles offshore and use MSR thorium that'd work for me. Otherwise I don't see any reason for such a pointless needless risk with little benefit.
No one faces the fact that without storage, wind and solar are asynchronous generation and can only be peripheral. Gas is despatch-able and supports the 50 Hz +/- 1%. We need something like gas.
This isn't really accurate. A solar plant requires about 3x as much land as a coal plant for the same energy output, but land use isn't just the plant itself. This should be obvious, but coal plants require a constant supply of coal, so when you calculate land use for the whole supply chain including mines it basically comes out to coal using slightly more land than solar. Of course solar and wind can also be utilized in mixed-use spaces (agricultural lands, roofs, parking lots, etc) whereas mines and coal power plants usually can't. Sorry this comment got a bit long. TLDR we've gotta think more holistically about these kinds of issues.
@@gg3675 ... Renewables are about 50% of electricity for entire year, but with heating and transport and industry included renewables are only about 10% of all energy needed (electricity is only about 20% of all our power needs). So in good weather of good sun and wind we need to grow renewables by 10x. Plus to deal with bad weather of clouds and low wind, for safety we need to triple that, so need 30x more renewables as now, and use winds in UK when Germany is cloudy and calm etc etc etc. And Europe is already running out of places on land and sea to put the big turbines and the big solar panels. Honestly I am impressed it MAYBE could be done go all renewables, but again 30x more than now is needed. PS I sorta doubt home solar is worth the high cost of reinforcing roofs to take solar panels and costly wiring each house taking 100 hours of electrcian/carpenter time which does add up to big big money, so I am for just solar panelling all the scrub land and hilly land which is a price worth paying even if it makes landscape look like Tron ha ha. But 30x more will make things look different...
Thanks for another fantastic piece. Just to focus on one note from a great speaker Cornelius Meyer. As much as we want to move the EU to renewables this is a global challenge and keeping that in mind is key. Liquid fuels for much of Africa in terms of transport and coal for power will be a reality for 30 plus years!! This infrastructure has been procured and 'needs' to be used... It is not going to be an easy change. PV, wind and battery backup is now dropping below coal in terms of overall cost but we still need to fight the old Capex spend for power stations and pipelines.
To all the "geniuses" in the comment section: this is not about renewables. This is about the markets and about politics. The same thing happens in China (even worse; complete blackouts in certain regions, etc.), right now. You think they are also "too hysterical about renewables"? Don't be ridiculous.
China is on top of the renewable than any nation in the world, period. They have more solar, wind, and other forms of renewable projects than the combination of the US and EU.
What is happening in China is well known to be because they stopped importing Australian coal, to try and harm us, totally backfired on them.
