What if it's 4d chess to trick the towelheads in Europe to do terrorism, and finally get citizens to boot them out?

It's interesting how the oil / gas pipelines always come into play when sanctions are thrown.

It's always padding more pressure economically between Eurasia and Europe.

"Crude" oil.

Might start calling it "Cruel oil"

It's energy. Can't do shit without energy.

As complex as the expansion and need for more energy is, ultimately that is all at some level an action or a plan.

We made the need for such energy a requirement.

Hopefully the green energy market can get apt businessmen and stop sucking off the governments and becoming financially independent and prosperous. Having this would mean the whole game would change in regard to more traditional energy sources.

The only green is hydro power.

Also restrictions from lobbying.

Everything else is a scam.

Nobody invests in a market without risk, but not too much.

Solar power is still promising. Wind actually helps but I'm not sure how much more that'll improve.

Sea wind turbines are the best iirc.

There were experimental power generators using sea currents.

Algae power was an interesting project as well.

@franti baked alaska is sucking some good dick there

Solar generates pollution to manufacture and has high operational cost.

I see the operational cost going down as methods become cheaper and more designs are implemented.

People have this weird need to use electricity when it's not sunny outside.

Same when it's not windy.

I don't think we're quite there yet

Well you're going at this as if only one type of alternative is used on the grid.

Batteries are abysmally inefficient for storing excess energy.

The most toxic part of the solar plant is the battery

Best solution I saw for storing energy was literally pumping water back up into a dam.

My point is that there will be more available options for energy alternatives in the future.

Provided that they can live up to the current energy needs of most modern nation states, I would see the game change in the middle east for sure.

Or building chambers inside lakes, then pump the water out, to let it flow in through turbines.

Dams require maintenance as well.

Everything needs, but the difference is orders of magnitude.

Baked going SJW hahaha

It also has a footprint on the down-stream environment, based on how and where the dam is built.

The local government spends a ton of money to ensure the dams are safe.

(Dams) High risk->little impact vs little risk -> high impact (Nuclear)

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 exactly

Talking about that, did Egypt ever sort it out the Nile dams problem with its neighbors?

Not sure. Heard of it but didn't look into that.

@DanielKO No iirc
